THE INNOVATION CHALLENGE
The Innovation Challenge is a separate activity open to all attendees, even those who are registered as spectators during the drone competition. This challenge is designed to serve as a collaborative bridge between Academia, Industry, the Department of Defense (DoD), and private citizens. This competition seeks to uncover and highlight innovative solutions that can advance training, operational readiness, and the development of cutting-edge technologies. The challenge creates a unique environment where fresh ideas, unconventional thinking, and rapid problem-solving can directly inform the needs of Industry and DoD.
