SUAS 2024

Robonation SUAS

Robonation SUAS Competition is designed to foster interest in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), stimulate interest in UAS technologies and careers, and to engage students in a challenging UAS mission. The competition requires students to design, integrate, report on, and demonstrate a UAS capable of autonomous flight and navigation, remote sensing via onboard payload sensors, and execution of a specific set of tasks. The competition has been held annually since 2002.

Our 3 Year Plan

Project Hex aims to be one of the first UK teams to enter the prestigious Robonation SUAS Challenge in America. This is a massive step up from the IMechE competition and brings many additional challenges when it comes to designing the system, including transportation across the Atlantic Ocean. 

In order to rise up to the demanding specifications we will be spending the 3 years to design, develop, manufacture and test. During Summer 2021, our concept team investigated and researched a preliminary design. We have been flying and testing since then, and completed our full structural build in 2023.

We are currently on track to compete at SUAS 2024, however we still need your help. Sharing or following us on social media, or even sharing our website gets us one step closer!
