Search and Rescue Challenge
The Search and Rescue Challenge is open for worldwide participation by universities and hobbyists.
'Outback Joe' is lost in the Australian outback and in need of assistance. Teams must develop a platform to accurately pinpoint the simulated target and accurately deliver an emergency package via an airdrop. The mission area is nearly 2 km from the airport and is approximately 4 km x 6 km. Teams must not fly greater than 1500 ft above ground level (AGL).
The overall mission requirements are targeted towards safety, excellence of the platform and innovation. There are a number of milestones leading up to the challenge dates.
