Hanseo University HACUS Team Wins Grand Prize at the 1st Unmanned Mobility Challenge

Minister of Science and ICT Award, Prize Money 10 Million Won

The HACUS team from the Department of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and the Aerospace Unmanned Systems Control Laboratory at Hanseo University received the Minister of Science and ICT Award at the 'Unmanned Mobility Challenge.'

According to Hanseo University on the 22nd, the HACUS team won the grand prize in the Designated Competition II (Destruction) category of the '1st Land, Sea, and Air Unmanned Mobility Challenge' hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, receiving a prize of 10 million KRW and the ministerial award.

In the Land, Sea, and Air Unmanned Mobility Challenge, the main tasks were ‘detection-identification-tracking’ and ‘neutralization’ of illegal drones. Participating teams performed missions through automatic flight without pilot intervention using their self-developed unmanned aerial vehicle systems.

In the Designated Competition II category of this challenge, the mission was to receive the location of illegal drones via radar within the first minute and neutralize them within 5 minutes. The competition was divided into student and corporate divisions, with a first preliminary round (proposal evaluation) and a second preliminary round (presentation evaluation) to select finalists for the final competition.

The HACUS team from Hanseo University developed technology enabling three multicopters to fly simultaneously and cooperate autonomously. They also performed the intrusion drone detection and suppression mission using nets most excellently, receiving high evaluations.

Kim Hyun-sung, Director of the LINC 3.0 Project Group and Vice President of Industry-Academia Cooperation, stated, "The status of Hanseo University as an aviation-specialized university has been further elevated," and added, "We will continue to provide various supports through the LINC 3.0 Project Group so that students can acquire core technologies related to unmanned mobility and respond to future societal changes."
