Companies across the nation, including many in Michigan, are working on the next generation of drones for a wide variety of defense, civilian, and commercial uses. These drones deliver medicine to isolated communities, support military personnel on the front lines, and transport critical manufacturing components to cut down on production delays.

With the Uncrewed Triple Challenge, Michigan is making its mark in this sector, which will help drive investment and job growth.

This state-sponsored competition will drive innovation in autonomous drone technology, as it tasks entrants with using unmanned, autonomous drones to seamlessly transport a package across Michigan — traversing water, air and land.

Advance registration and security clearance is required to attend this event.
