DARPA Tunnel Circuit

Eleven teams from around the world will attempt to remotely map, identify, and report the greatest number of artifacts along the passages of a Pittsburgh research mine in the Subterranean Challenge Tunnel Circuit. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Mining Program manages the formerly operational mine, which will serve as the arena for the Systems event August 15-22, 2019.

The Tunnel Circuit is the first of three circuits in which teams will test their systems and sensors in physical, representative subterranean courses.
