Reflecting on the Military International Drone Racing Tournament 24 - London event at the Honourable Artillery Company last week. Thanks to Karl Eze and the British Military Drone Racing team for pulling together such an amazing group of world-leading expertise: some really interesting and fruitful discussions on the future of UAS technology, standards convergence, integration, pan-DLOD capability and more. Kudos to jHub Defence for a brilliant grass roots initiative to build FPV pilot capability across UK Defence. Rowden’s focus is on how we can help integrate UAS as part of Defence’s future capabilities. As ever, the technical challenges are easier than the assurance challenges… we’re excited to support finding a path. The skill of the pilots was amazing to watch up close, especially in such a special location Great event! 

The Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) is a truly spectacular and the venue for the Military International Drone Racing Tournament 24 - London. Vincenzo 'Vincent' Lunardi "The Daredevil Aeronaut" launched the first hot air balloon in England from the HAC's Artillery Garden on 15th September 1784. 240 years (and a day) later, modern day trail blazers are once again using the HAC's grounds for a first. The first Military International Drone Racing Tournament in the UK, bringing together allied nations in competiton and knowledge exchange. Thank you Karl Eze for organising and the Point Zenith team for supporting MIDRT 24.

Enter the Australians! The Australian Defence Force team landed in the UK earlier this week and have been practicing hard at Ware FPV in Hertfordshire, with Dan Stevens along side members of British Military Drone Racing and the Singaporean Army Drone Racing team. As the reigning MIDRT Champions of Sydney in 2018 and Melbourne in 2023, the ADF are definitely the team to beat. Here they are after a training... flying more drones, this time a HD tiny whoop. A great team with a strong ethos! Follow their progress and that of the other nations in person or via the live stream.
