BlindFlight Resilience Challenge
Awards $25,000 for a UAV navigation system that survives GNSS jamming and spoofing.
The BlindFlight Resilience Challenge is an EDGE Group prize for a UAV navigation system or reference architecture that stays stable and accurate through GNSS jamming and spoofing, not just normal signal conditions, combining techniques such as visual SLAM, inertial navigation, magnetometers, LiDAR or RF triangulation into a flight-ready system demonstrated above Technology Readiness Level 6, and p…
