Challenge overview

Unmanned vehicles have a broad range of applications and allow information to be gathered and tasks performed in environments that are difficult or unsafe for human operators. The Seeker is a manufacturer of unmanned vehicles and propulsion systems for unmanned vehicles. Servicing these vehicles has a number of unique challenges compared with manned vehicles – these are described within the challenge description – the seeker wishes to understand how non-traditional service can be provided!

This is an Ideation Challenge with a guaranteed award for at least one submitted solution.

 

The Seeker is a manufacturer of propulsion units and other systems for unmanned aerial vehicles. In this exciting emerging market clients are demanding that unmanned systems can be monitored and maintained to enable a high level of sustained functionality. What service models can be transferred and adopted from other industries that use unmanned vehicles so that the Seeker can provide unmatched levels of services?

This is an Ideation Challenge, which has the following unique features:

  • There is a guaranteed award.  The awards will be paid to the best submission(s) as solely determined by the Seeker. The total payout will be $7,500, with at least one award being no smaller than $5,000 and no award being smaller than $1,000.
  • The Solvers are not required to transfer exclusive intellectual property rights to the Seeker.  Rather, by submitting a proposal, the Solvers grants to the Seeker a royalty-free, perpetual, and non-exclusive license to use any information included in this proposal.

After the Challenge deadline, the Seeker will complete the review process and make a decision with regards to the Winning Solution(s). All Solvers that submitted a proposal will be notified on the status of their submissions; however, no detailed evaluation of individual submissions will be provided.
