GoAERO has launched a competition called the GoAERO Prize, with over $2 million in prizes, to develop autonomous flyers for aerial emergency response operations. The competition aims to create safe and robust flyers that can respond to natural disasters, climate change, medical emergencies, and humanitarian crises. The three-stage competition will culminate in a fly-off competition in 2027, with various prize categories. The competition has received support from industry leaders such as NASA, Boeing, and Iridium Satellite Communications, and has partnerships with international aerospace organizations. The flyers will need to complete missions focused on productivity, adversity, maneuvering, precision, and adaptation. [Extracted from the article] |
