Drones

Their roles have expanded to include electronic attack, drone strikes, suppression or destruction of enemy air defense, network node or communications relay, and combat search and rescue. They also now use them for cargo.

Cadets on the drone team will use coordination to fly through obstacle courses and also compete and blind guide courses.

SeaPerch

The SeaPerch team competes in underwater robotics at regional and national levels. SeaPerch aims to teach cadets about building Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) that maneuver in the water through obstacle courses while manipulating other objects. The team helps advance the engineering ideas and technical applications SeaPerch requires to thrive. 

Cyber Patriot

CyberPatriot’s National Youth Cyber Defense Competition challenges teams of high school and middle school students to find and fix cybersecurity vulnerabilities in virtual operating systems. Using a proprietary competition system, teams are scored on how secure they make the system. Top teams advance through the online round of competition, and the best of the best advance to the in-person National Finals Competition.

Each team has two challenges during their four-hour competition period:

• Network Security Challenge: involves finding and fixing security vulnerabilities in Windows and Linux operating systems.

• Cisco Networking Challenge: consists of an online quiz and a virtual networking exercise based on specific training materials.
