Meet the Team
More than 100 students across five specialised sections combine engineering, software, manufacturing, operations and flight testing to design, build and fly capable autonomous aircraft.
Our Mission
Monash UAS brings together more than 100 members across five specialised sections, each contributing to the design, production and operation of our aircraft.
Our mission is to demonstrate the humanitarian potential of uncrewed aerial systems while giving students practical experience through competition, flight testing and real-world engineering.
Through workshops and outreach, we also aim to inspire the next generation of STEM students.
