Proven in Pendleton: Oregon UAS Accelerator launches $100k challenge

I always love when accelerator programs think beyond their immediate cohort opportunity to more thoroughly engage their startup communities. So imagine how happy I was when I got word of the Oregon UAS Accelerator’s latest effort. It’s called the “Proven in Pendleton Challenge.” And it’s designed to inspire and identify compelling counter-drone concepts — with the winner landing a $100,000 cash prize.

Calling all Counter-UAS innovators! The Oregon UAS Accelerator is proud to announce the Proven in Pendleton cUAS Challenge, a groundbreaking competition designed to accelerate innovation in unmanned aircraft systems defense.

This high-stakes event will culminate at the AUVSI Cascade Chapter’s Spring Symposium on April 24-25, 2025, offering participants unparalleled exposure to key stakeholders in military, law enforcement, and commercial sectors.
