Sauron's Eye
Built at National Security Hackathon (by Army xTech) · May 2, 2026 · San Francisco, CA
The goal is to develop an indoor reconnaissance drone that can navigate through buildings, scan its surroundings, and transmit a live video feed to a soldier’s AR goggles. Unlike a standard FPV drone, this system would detect and lock onto a target object, estimate its position within the building, and project that location into the soldier’s field of view. As the soldier moves, the system would continuously update the object’s relative position, allowing them to understand where it is, even when it is behind walls or outside their direct line of sight. basically active and small drones in soldier's backpacks and will deploy when the soldier need to clear out a trench, building and etc. Basically a wall hack where soldiers can shoot through walls.
