Peruvian Defense Hack #0
About Us
Organized by MakerCirujas.
We are an independent community of engineers, founders, students, researchers, and hackers who build without waiting for permission.
We prototype. We experiment. We ship.
Our Mission
We bring together builders to explore the frontier of:
🤖 Physical AI
🚁 Robotics & Autonomy
🛰️ Defense Technology
⚙️ Deep-Tech Systems
This hackathon is about solving hard engineering problems, building real prototypes, and learning by doing.
Less talk. More building.
Main Category
🚨 No prizes for this edition.
🏆 2-Day Challenge
Challenge tracks will be revealed one week before the event.
Focus Areas
Participants may build within one or more of the following domains:
Autonomous Command & Control (C2)
AI & Agentic Systems
Sensor-to-Shooter Integration
Counter-UAS & Drone Swarms
Maritime Security & Littoral Defense
Electronic Warfare (EW)
Resilient Communications
Space-Based Infrastructure & Defense
Modular Defense Systems
Defense Dome Architectures for City-Scale Protection
Challenge Tracks
Track A — Autonomous Interceptors
Can we build interceptors that are fast, affordable, and intelligent enough to counter modern drone warfare without relying on skilled pilots or expensive supply chains?
Track B — Scalable Sensing
Can we design a sensing architecture that maintains situational awareness even when hundreds of threats appear simultaneously?
Track C — Human Decision-Making
Can we preserve meaningful human judgment in the loop when autonomous warfare operates faster than human reaction time?
Track D — Open Deep-Tech
Build within the defense domain based on your own expertise and interests.
This track is open to projects across relevant deep-tech fields, provided they contribute to defense capabilities.
