Revolutionize heavy vertical lift aviation with the DARPA Lift Challenge! This competition asks innovators across America to design drones that can carry payloads more than four times their weight. By achieving a 4:1 payload-to-weight ratio, we can unlock new possibilities for both military and civilian applications. The Lift Challenge is your chance to push the boundaries of aerodynamic design, materials science, and propulsion systems with a total of $6.5 million in prize money up for grabs💰.

We’re now closer to an AI assistant that can see what we see and hear what we hear to give personalized guidance for complicated tasks in the physical world. The Perceptually-enabled Task Guidance (PTG) program paired new algorithmic approaches with an augmented reality headset that focused on three military use cases: 🩺Battlefield medicine ✅ Aircraft copilot procedure guidance ✈️Aircraft maintenance The best part? PTG’s algorithmic innovations are platform-agnostic, so the technology could wor

Think you have what it takes to create Maverick 3.0? Well then, start coding! You have until July 31, 2019, to submit algorithms to our AlphaDogfight Trials. Submissions will inform a DARPA funding opportunity coming this fall centered around building algorithms for AI-driven aerial dogfighting! Get the details at: https://www.arcnetconsortium.com/air-combat-evolution-ace-alphadogfight-trials/. We're particularly interested in contributions from the gaming community, so if you know someone good,
