What Should I Bring?

Defense Day is an indoor and outdoor event. Please pack personal and any unmanned equipment accordingly. A link to a recommended packing list can be found below:

  • It would be a good idea to bring several, different-sized unmanned systems if your organization’s resources allow it. This will maximize participation in the classroom sessions and training time for every member of your team.
  • This year will feature a number of indoor flight scenarios. Consider bringing smaller aircraft or ground robots for these scenarios. 
  • Bring prop guards and extra props.
  • Airlines will allow travelers to bring smaller lithium-ion batteries. Please check airline regulations. Larger batteries may need to be shipped (please see shipping information below).
  • Organizations should label all equipment. This includes aircraft, batteries, cases, etc. FLYMOTION is not responsible for any lost equipment.
  • We advise attendees to bring quick chargers and battery stations for their UAS as needed. 
  • Check local weather conditions to pack accordingly. Ensure that your equipment is prepared for these conditions. (e.g. sealed battery connections.)
