EUDIS DEFENCE HACKATHON 2025

THREE CHALLENGES: Which one will you solve?

01 Enhanced Situational Awareness and Tactical Surveillance Systems   

This challenge aims to deliver affordable and portable surveillance systems that will improve the situational awareness of Ukrainian military units. Surveillance systems should be designed for ease of deployment, able to withstand harsh environments and rapid movement across diverse terrains or in the air/water. 

02 Cost-Effective Protective Gear for Frontline Defence   

This challenge focuses on equipping soldiers with high-quality, lightweight protective gear that is both affordable and easy to produce. With scalability as a key requirement, these solutions must be designed for efficient, low-cost production to ensure that adequate protection can be made available to a large number of troops, contributing to Ukraine's capacity for sustained defence.

03 Advanced Medical Support for Frontline Care   

This challenge seeks to develop advanced, AI-driven tools that support both medics and soldiers in quickly diagnosing injuries and determining the priority of care under high-pressure conditions. Soldiers in the field often face immediate medical needs or need to assist injured comrades before a medic arrives, and AI-powered systems can play a crucial role in guiding these fast-response actions.
