The Skyway Range uncrewed aerial system (UAS) test range in Oklahoma, operated by Osage LLC, has been selected as the official host site for the RoboNation’s 2026 Student Unmanned Aerial Systems Competition, one of the United States’ largest annual unmanned aerial systems competitions for university and high performing high school students. The event will be held September 14-17, 2026.
The annual competition draws hundreds of students, faculty and industry leaders from across the United States and other countries to design, build, and fly autonomous aerial systems through complex real-world scenarios. It serves as a proving ground where emerging engineers confront real-world engineering demands, mission planning and operational constraints.
Skyway Range operates a 1,200-square-mile beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) uncrewed flight test range originally developed in partnership with Osage LLC, Oklahoma State University and Tulsa Innovation Labs. It includes four droneports and testing conditions for both rural and urban applications.
