The club ret urned to Webster Field this year with a new airframe\, Fenrir3\, with prim ary new development being made in software and the ground station.\n\nThe SUAS competition requires fully autonomous takeoff\, flight\, and landing\ , with completion of a waypoint course and interoperability of telemetry w ith a judge server.
