Nice article. For those new and not familiar with the Outback Challenge, you can also check previous blog posts about the outback challenge on this forum, some relevant info is here.

There’s also this older, paper: How the UAV Challenge Outback Rescue was finally won and this BBC video recapping the last challenge.
