Challenge Blurb: | The rapid proliferation of drones is bringing about unprecedented threats to safety and security worldwide, from drones used for terrorism-related activities in the Middle East to drone sightings in airports. The threat is further exacerbated by emerging technologies such as drones that are not controlled by radio frequency links and swarm technologies. Urban settings such as Singapore also face unique challenges such as dense population and cluttered environments, which restrict the applicability and effectiveness of various counter-drone technologies. |
Challenge Description: | Challenge Statement – To develop a cost-effective and scalable solution for surveillance and/or safe neutralisation of rogue drones in an urban setting. Deliverables – To submit a proposal for the solution (either surveillance and/or neutralisation). Accepted teams will further develop or refine their solutions for the next 6-12 months. Thereafter, teams will demonstrate their solutions to perform either surveillance and/or neutralisation of rogue drones in unknown scenarios. Selected teams may be invited to participate in actual deployment projects after the challenge. |
