Eight teams for DroneClash

Eight international teams have registered for DroneClash, the first counter drone competition in the world. During this competition the teams use their highly sophisticated drone(s) to take down as many other drones as possible, RobotWars in the sky as it were. Teams need to bring at least two drones per battle, but they can use more if they want to.

They also need to avoid a number of anti-drone interventions. The teams will battle on 13 February in a former airbase hangar in the Netherlands. Besides fun and a truck load (filled to the top) of honor, the teams battle for €50.000 prize money.

The Teams Our teams consist out of university, hobbyist, government, and company teams. Their tactics are similarly versatile, ranging from hacking to flamethrowers. Some place emphasis on speed while others are going for heavy defenses. We are looking forward to finding out which tactics will prevail in the arena.
