1. Maritime
2. Aerial
3. Ground

Each section includes a set of mission-based tasks, designed to test specific core capabilities relevant to the operational domain of the autonomous system. The table below summarizes the mission-based tasks included in the competition and their applicability to each type of autonomous platform (maritime, aerial or terrestrial).

Competition tasks	Maritime	Aerial	Ground
Autonomous Navigation Mission (tests autonomous navigation capability) - Demonstrates autonomous navigation by following predefined waypoints without human intervention.	✔	✔	✔
Obstacle Avoidance Mission (tests collision avoidance capability) - Demonstrates safe navigation toward a predefined goal while avoiding static obstacles.	✔	✔	✔
Contact Engagement Mission, with target identification (tests perception-assisted contact engagement) - Identify the correct target among multiple objects and establish controlled physical contact.	✔		✔
Payload Placement Mission, with target identification (tests perception-assisted precision delivery) - Identify the correct target location and precisely deliver the payload.		✔
Cyber Resilience Mission (tests cyber-physical robustness) - Demonstrates safe system behaviour under simulated cyber-induced disturbances affecting communication or control.	✔	✔	✔

Each mission-based task is evaluated independently, allowing teams to demonstrate specific capabilities of their autonomous system.

Mission completion requirements define the evaluation of each task. Detailed scoring rules will be provided in the competition regulations.
