Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Challenge 2020

This competition is a superb opportunity for individuals, organizations, students, institutions, and research groups to showcase their skills in the use of UAV for solving societal challenges as well as research prototypes on UAV to a large audience.

Kindly note that participation can be in either category 1 or category 2 or both . Detailed information is as presented in each category.

Category 1: Payload Drop

Participants are to create a UAV system that can travel at least 11 km and provide at least 5 minutes of video and audio telemetry to the emergency centre. They are encouraged to create systems that can perform the task in a fully independent manner; and can reduce the payload of at least 1 kg to the location of the stranded researchers. Participants must not fly above 1000ft AGL at any time during the assignment and must maintain an altitude of at least 100ft AGL while not flying over roads and at least 200ft AGL if flying over roads (this restriction does not apply during take-off and landing maneuvers).

Once a participant’s UAV arrives at the researcher’s location, the judges must be notified. At this point, the judges will either allow or deny a team to continue their flight.

Category 2: Long Endurance Surveillance

Participants must not fly above 1000ft AGL at any time during the mission and must maintain an altitude of at least 100ft AGL while not flying over roads and at least 200ft AGL if flying over roads (this restriction does not apply during take-off and landing maneuvers.

Once a participant’s UAV arrives at the researchers’ location, the judges must be notified.
