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

🏆 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.
