The Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL), which made its impressive debut this April at the Yas Marina Circuit, has announced the next phase of its challenge with the Drone Champions League (DCL), the world’s premier professional drone racing organization. Building on the success of its inaugural event, the A2RL Drone Race continues to advance the frontiers of autonomous technology, merging human skill with innovative advancements in autonomous flight.
The Autonomous Drone Race will bring together teams from across the globe, welcoming established drone racing teams, research institutions and enthusiastic ‘rookies.’ All competitors will vie for a thrilling prize purse of US$1million, as they strive to achieve maximum agility and speed while successfully maneuvering through objects in the way. Registration is now open at a2rl.io (https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fa2rl.io%2F&esheet=54099128&newsitemid=20240724188405&lan=en-US&anchor=a2rl.io&index=1&md5=a22079966b91b6f50ec38b5ff81356a4), and interested teams are invited to apply for the competition. All entries will undergo a rigorous selection process to identify the successful competing teams. Those who pass the screening will be invited to participate in a series of tasks that will allow the judging panel to assess the teams’ proficiency in using an open-source simulator to fly a drone autonomously. The grand finale will be held in April 2025, where the winner will be determined.
As with all grand challenges, the A2RL Drone Challenge will also include a STEM focus and high-school students will be welcome to be a part of the competition.
Announcing the new competition, H.E. Faisal Al Bannai, Secretary General of ATRC, said: “It’s only when you experiment in extreme conditions that you really discover new boundaries or breakthroughs in science. We’re inspiring global collaboration, driving technological progress, and creating a future where autonomous solutions transform industries and improve lives.”
Stephane Timpano, CEO at ASPIRE, said: “This is an exciting evolution of our A2RL extreme racing series. DCL is a like-minded partner with years of invaluable drone racing experience. Together, we are not only adding a new autonomous dimension to drone racing but are also demonstrating the limitless possibilities of unmanned aerial vehicles through this competition.”
By advancing drone technology, this race aims to make drone usage accessible for all countries, ultimately reducing costs and driving innovation across industries such as health and logistics.
