A team of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists and engineers pushed the limits of unmanned aerial systems to earn a place at the DARPA Lift Challenge, hosted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The LLNL Collaborative Heavy-lift Aerial unManned Propellor Systems (CHAMPS) team ranked among the 132 teams selected from more than 480 applications to tackle one of aviation's most difficult challenges: breaking the heavy-lifting bottleneck. By combining an ultra-lightweight body with novel battery technology, CHAMPS aimed to develop a drone capable of
