UAS 2026 - Agricultural Innovation

The UAS 2026 project represents a completely new mission challenge: precision agriculture through autonomous water delivery. Unlike the 2025 humanitarian mission, this year's challenge requires controlled water release at specific coordinates while managing the complexities of variable center of gravity and liquid weight.

The team has grown to 25 members, incorporating lessons learned from the 2025 competition through intergenerational mentorship. The 2025 veterans are now guiding the new generation of aerospace engineers.

The design phase was finalized in March 2025, and the team is currently in prototype development, targeting the UAS Challenge in England (July 2026).
