The RobEn UAV team achieved a remarkable achievement by participating in the 9th International Competition of the Military Technical College in the Fixed-Wing Autonomous UAV category. The team participated with two UAVs and secured 2nd and 6th places out of 16 teams, including top international participants. We ranked ahead of world-class teams such as the Chinese Army team, marking the highest rank ever achieved by the academy in its history. The UAV was perfectly able to take off and perform all competition missions autonomously.
The International Competition of the Military Technical College (ICMTC), held in Cairo under the Lt. General Ibrahim Selim Award for Innovation, is an annual event that brings together students from engineering faculties and research centers to showcase their creativity and technical skills. The competition challenges participants to design, build, and test unmanned systems—both autonomous and remotely operated—while also covering fields such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, unmanned ground and maritime vehicles, and advanced composite structures.
