Team Vitesse from SMME, NUST, has once again brought pride to the university at the TeknoFest International UAV Competition 2025.

In 2024, they made history as the first-ever NUST team, and the only team from Pakistan, to reach the finals in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, advancing from 682 international teams to fewer than 40. Building on this success, the team carried NUST’s winning legacy forward in 2025 by reaching the finals in Kocaeli, Türkiye, standing out from 1,037 applicants to secure a place among the top 72.

These consecutive milestones reflect the innovation, technical expertise and global competitiveness nurtured at NUST, as we push the boundaries of UAV technology and raise Pakistan’s flag high on one of the world’s largest aerospace platforms.
