Join us to brainstorm together for ground-breaking solutions of our future defense.
Learn MoreCybersecurity remains a critical concern for defense sectors worldwide. Hackathons focusing on developing tools for threat detection, incident response, and secure communications are highly valued. For instance, the "Digital Defenders Cybersecurity Masterclass and Capture the Flag (CTF) Competition 2023" emphasized real-world applications in web application security, network security, cryptography, and forensics .
The development of autonomous systems, including drones and unmanned ground vehicles, is a priority in modern defense strategies. Hackathons have focused on creating autonomous microdrones, FPV-controlled drones, and systems for first-person view control, aiming to reduce human casualties in conflict zones .
Artificial Intelligence is being integrated into military communications to enhance real-time situational awareness and autonomous decision-making. Hackathons are exploring AI applications in adaptive signal processing, multi-agent coordination for network optimization, and radar-assisted target tracking .
Cybersecurity and Threat Analysis
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
Robotics and Autonomous Systems
Data Science and Big Data Analytics
Cost effective surveillance missile with inverted terrain drone radar - the project focuses on avionics reliability, recovery-system autonomy, telemetry infrastructure, and high-speed flight stability.
Autonomous drone equipped with camera, radar and sensors (gases, radiation) for detection and classification of threats (drones, mines, toxic gases, radiation) through ML
EEG-based assessment system that objectively measures cognitive load during FPV drone operator training - by synchronizing flight simulator telemetry with neurophysiological data.
Virtual testing ground to evaluate the flight dynamics and mission capabilities of custom UAV configurations. By simulating real-world conditions, it enables developers to safely tune.
An automated landmine detection and mapping system that leverages advanced robotics and artificial intelligence to locate concealed explosive devices across hazardous terrain.
Field-Deployable IT Infrastructure: A Kubernetes Cluster for Campaign Intranet Services, Web Hosting and In-Field AI Retraining: Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson 8 nodes cluster.
Modular Edge AI inference platform built around Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) accelerators, designed for autonomous systems operating in connectivity-free environments.
Drifting Objects Simulator is a desktop application designed to support maritime operators in estimating the drift of floating objects at sea, using environmental data.
Spatial Interfacing and Diagnostic Method for Electronic Conflict that uses mobile devices to map, analyze and counter threats in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Virtual shooting training uses simulators and augmented or virtual reality technologies to reproduce shooting conditions, allowing users to perfect their accuracy, and weapon handling.
Drone-based system that automatically detects foreign objects (FOD) on airport runways, using YOLOv8s and ByteTrack for real-time identification and DBSCAN for duplicate removal.
A remotely controlled unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) designed for reconnaissance and surveillance missions in environments too hazardous or inaccessible for humans.
A passive acoustic early-warning network for drone detection that repurposes ordinary Android smartphones as distributed sensor nodes. Microphone listen for signatures.
A low-cost solution for integrating drones into U-space controlled airspace, enabling safe and compliant operation without the expense of specialized avionics.
A wide-band spectrum monitoring approach that combines the watch and detect missions into a single capability, continuously scanning across radio frequencies.
Sensor-fusion and AI platform for detecting, classifying, and tracking sea mines across the Black Sea. Ingests data from sonar, EO/IR cameras, AIS feeds, and uncrewed vehicles.
Low-cost, low-power sensor platform for continuous environmental monitoring across air, water, and soil. Distributed nodes measure parameters like particulate matter.
Simulate cyberattacks on communications systems to find their weaknesses before an adversary can exploit them - test these vulnerabilities in a controlled manner.
