The summit, which saw the Australian Defence Forces take the overall win, also featured the British Army Drone Sports Championships – a more tactical affair that was supported by paratroopers from 16 Air Assault Brigade Combat Team, the army’s lead formation for developing the use of UAS.
The domestic competition saw pilots fly the devices around an obstacle course to find and strike targets, with points awarded for accuracy.
Drone racing is one of the British Army’s newest official sports.
