User Message: Team,
Happy to announce the soft launch and pre-registration for the USNDA U.S. Military Drone Racing Championship over Independence Day Weekend, 2025 in Orlando Florida.
The purpose of releasing pre-registration via informal channels early is to identify “pockets of interest” at each service and competitive team category. No action other than registration is needed now - the USNDA team will work in January to help consolidate participants and identify lead service level sponsors for the event.
Specifically for this group - please help consolidate DoD service level leads that can help represent the interests of the service in establishing a formal Drone Racing Team to compete. The USNDA will help establish an advisory/liaison team to help consolidate effort and provide briefings as needed to service stakeholders.
Please review the MDRC overview and provide questions via the registration form. DM with NIPR email if you would like to receive this link via an email from the USNDA team.
