SEPTEMBER 17-19, 2015
The first annual Bridger Cup is a multi-day competition and public exposition bringing together Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) manufacturers, professionals, and hobbyists, to showcase the state of UAS technology and the benefits they can bring to the public. The Bridger Cup is a non-profit event, proceeds will go to fund local charities.
With diverse applications, including emergency medical supply delivery, accurate wildlife surveys, hazardous area exploration, search and rescue operations, and precision agriculture, UASs have the potential to make dangerous jobs safer, difficult tasks easier, and unobtainable goals possible.
Unlike other trade shows and exhibitions, the Bridger Cup is a fast-paced dynamic event that engages spectators and lets manufacturers and hobbyists demonstrate their products and abilities in a safe and supervised environment.
The centerpiece of the event is the Bridger Cup Competition: a three day long series of challenges designed to highlight different aspects of UAS design and operation including maximum flight time, lift capacity, agility, camera platform stability and first-person-view flight. Each challenge will produce a class winner and the overall best performing UAS will be awarded the Bridger Cup.
Spectation is open to the public.
In addition to the competition events, Vendors and sponsors will have the opportunity to demonstrate their latest Drone technology or idea in front of a full spectator audience within our contained three-acre FlyZone. Whether a delivery company wants to conduct a mock package delivery demonstration, a manufacturer wants to fight a mock fire with his drone or a farmer desires to display simulated precision pesticide application, it can all be done- here at the Bridger Cup.
As a fast growing technology hub and mountain paradise, Bozeman Montana is the perfect venue for this competition. With several local business such as Bridger Aerospace, Vision Aerial, Beartooth Radio, Lattice Materials and Bridger Photonics all heavily invested in drone relatedtechnologies, the high tech business landscape of Bozeman is a hotbed of innovation. With the unbeatable outdoor recreation and downtown social scene, Bozeman is also a wonderful tourist destination.
