Are competition organizers seeking solutions to component technologies (e.g., cybersecurity, detect-and-avoid, and data transport, or an integrated solution)?

Yes, we are looking for component technologies residing on a drone, including but not limited to the examples noted in the question. However, be aware that Stage 1 is to help us understand what the risks are for cybersecurity and AI within a solution. We would like to see contestants’ solutions then operate in Stage 2.
