Surveillance systems should be designed for ease of deployment, able to withstand harsh environments and rapid movement across diverse terrains or in the air/water. 02 Cost-Effective Protective Gear for Frontline Defence   This challenge focuses on equipping soldiers with high-quality, lightweight protective gear that is both affordable and easy to produce. With scalability as a key requirement, these solutions must be designed for efficient, low-cost production to ensure that adequate protection can be made available to a large number of troops, contributing to Ukraine's capacity for sustained defence.03 Advanced Medical Support for Frontline Care   This challenge seeks to develop advanced, AI-driven tools that support both medics and soldiers in quickly diagnosing injuries and determining the priority of care under high-pressure conditions. Soldiers in the field often face immediate medical needs or need to assist injured comrades before a medic arrives, and AI-powered systems can play a crucial role in guiding these fast-response actions.  <h2>HACKERS: Who can participate?</h2>You must be a citizen AND resident from EU/Norway/Ukraine and be 18 years or older to participate in the hackathon competition.
