The Artificial Intelligence Robotic Racing (AIRR) Circuit is the premier, autonomous drone racing series created by The Drone Racing League (DRL). Lockheed Martin and DRL recently launched the 2019 AlphaPilot Innovation Challenge, an open competition to develop artificial intelligence (AI) for high-speed racing drones. The top AlphaPilot teams earned a coveted spot in DRL's inaugural AIRR Circuit.

On Friday, November 15, fans will watch an exclusive AI competition where the very best AI developers will deploy code on the DRL RacerAI Drone and go head-to-head without any GPS, data relay or human intervention for a chance to win a $1 million cash prize.

Doors open at 4pm ET for immersive AI experiences. Key influencers within the category will also lead engaging panels around the future of autonomous flight throughout the event.

The main event begins at 5pm ET, featuring the 9 most elite AlphaPilot Teams.
