There’s a first time for everything, and this year, it’s drones.
[ NO_CARRIER ] touches down at DefCamp for the very first time, and it’s bringing teeth: real RF hacking, exposed flight controllers, and live airborne targets. If it flies, transmits, or broadcasts telemetry, it’s fair game.
Radio links hiding in plain sight. Video feeds leaking frames they were never meant to reveal. Telemetry and firmware that trust far too easily. Every station is a different door in, and every flag you capture gets you closer to the main event.
Want to get behind the sticks first? Spin up on our FPV flight simulators and designated stick-time rigs to understand how these machines handle before you take them down.
Somewhere in this arena, a real drone is airborne. Buzzing. Waiting. Daring someone to inject the right packets, hijack the control link, and pull it clean out of the sky for the entire room to see.
We provide the rigs, the spectrum tools, and the hardware. You just bring your laptop and an exploit mindset. The airwaves don’t forgive the unprepared.
Brought to you in collaboration with n1kt0_fpv.

Rules
[ NO_CARRIER ] Drone Village
– Hardware & BYOL: All RF interfaces, test rigs, simulators, and flight hardware are provided on-site. Participants need only their laptop. Attacks are strictly restricted to marked village hardware; physical tampering, destructive rewiring, or attacking conference-wide infrastructure/personal devices is strictly prohibited.
– RF Discipline: Transmit solely on the designated frequencies and power levels assigned by village marshals. Jamming, flooding, or out-of-band emissions will result in immediate disqualification.
– Flight & Simulator Zone: Simulator rigs and physical flight training are open to all attendees under marshal supervision. Live airborne hijacks and flight drills must remain strictly within the designated, netted flight cage.
– Station Integrity: Leave every challenge and simulator station in a clean, working state once finished. Do not brick, lock out, or overwrite core firmware on shared stations without explicit village crew clearance.
-Safety Protocols: Treat all live hardware as active. In the event of a runaway signal, battery swelling, or physical malfunction, step back immediately and notify village staff.
