Aerospace Village
Aerospace Village's official event page establishes the planned DEF CON 34 host setting. It does not name SR-71 or confer a badge design, issuance, endorsement, CTF-operation, manufacturing, delivery, or image-rights credit.

Aerospace Village DC34 SR-71 CTF Badge
Planned winnable CTF badge with an NFC game claim
The public DEF CON 34 BadgeLife roster contains a new listing submitted as Lockheed Martin - Aeronautics Cyber Range (ACR) for a badge titled SR-71. The named team says the badge is only winnable through a CTF it plans to host at its Aerospace Village booth and on its Discord, and describes a TCG-type card-collection game using NFC peer-to-peer and reader modes. That is concrete first-hand pre-event artifact evidence, while Aerospace Village's official page independently establishes the DEF CON 34 context; neither source publishes the badge's physical construction, NFC-hardware placement, or final distribution.

Lockheed Martin - Aeronautics Cyber Range (ACR)
The SR-71 public BadgeLife row names this team. This records the self-submitted team attribution only; it does not establish individual design roles, corporate authorization, employment, manufacturing, delivery, event-organizer affiliation, or image-rights authority.
SourceWhy It Mattered
It adds a current BadgeLife listing at the boundary between a named team's public claim and an official village event: the record preserves the stated SR-71 CTF and NFC game without treating it as an Aerospace Village-issued or DEF CON admission badge, a finished product, or a disclosed electronics platform.
Hardware
The public self-submission calls SR-71 a badge and says its TCG-type game uses NFC peer-to-peer and NFC reader modes. It does not identify a PCB, card or wearable form, NFC chip or antenna, controller, power source, display, buttons, connector, dimensions, material, lanyard, production revision, or which participating device contains the NFC hardware.
Software & Apps
No repository, firmware, application, card protocol, backend, game rules, score service, or implementation documentation is linked in the public listing. The team says code or firmware will be available after the conference, which is a future-release statement rather than a current technical source.
Lore
The listing frames SR-71 as a prize rather than a sale: it says attendees can win it through the team's CTF, and that completing a full card collection enters them into a raffle for Lockheed Martin and ACR swag. No source currently establishes CTF eligibility, card count, win conditions, raffle rules, odds, prizes, final handoff, or participant receipt.

Winnable Aerospace Village booth and Discord CTF claim
The roster says SR-71 is only winnable and that the ACR team will host a CTF at its Aerospace Village booth and on its Discord. It does not publish the CTF rules, eligibility, schedule, task set, venue authorization, winner count, badge quantity, pickup process, or completed award outcome.

NFC TCG card-collection and raffle claim
The team says the badge contains a TCG-type game using NFC peer-to-peer and NFC reader modes, and that a full card collection enters an attendee into a raffle for Lockheed Martin and ACR swag. The listing does not identify whether NFC lives in the badge, cards, phone, or booth hardware; it also omits game rules, card count, persistence, scoring, raffle terms, odds, prizes, or security controls.

Issues & Camp Impact
missing rights-cleared image
note
The reviewed public roster and Aerospace Village event page establish the planned SR-71 listing and event context but do not pair a selected factual badge image with a reusable license or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing provenance.
SR-71 remains image-free rather than copying roster media, event graphics, social posts, screenshots, stock imagery, or generated approximations.

physical-form, hardware, and NFC-role boundary
note
The roster calls SR-71 a badge and says its game uses NFC peer-to-peer and reader modes, but does not identify physical form, PCB, card, wearable, chip, antenna, controller, reader, power source, display, storage, connector, material, dimensions, artwork, production revision, or which device actually supplies NFC functionality.
The record does not infer an electronic PCB, active reader, passive tag, NFC chip model, radio placement, power budget, safety profile, or interoperability from high-level game wording.

pre-event artifact, host association, and credential boundary
note
A publicly named ACR team submits SR-71 to the BadgeLife roster and states an Aerospace Village booth/Discord CTF plan, while Aerospace Village independently establishes the DEF CON 34 event. Neither source says that Aerospace Village designed, issued, endorsed, or will distribute SR-71; nor do they say it is a DEF CON Human badge, a registration entitlement, an admission credential, or a completed event artifact. The roster team name alone is not treated as proof of corporate authorization.
The catalogue preserves a concrete event-associated BadgeLife listing without converting public self-description into organizer issuance, corporate endorsement, credential authority, or a completed distribution claim.

software, NFC protocol, data, privacy, and security gap
note
The roster says code or firmware will be available after the con, but currently provides no repository or implementation documentation. It does not disclose NFC protocol or payload design, card identifiers, peer/reader behavior, phone or app requirements, backend, accounts, authentication, authorization, cloning resistance, encryption, telemetry, logs, personal-data handling, retention, deletion, privacy notice, threat model, security review, update path, or support policy.
The catalogue presents only the stated NFC game concept, not a defined communications protocol, software release, privacy practice, security guarantee, or safe operating guidance.

note
The team says SR-71 is only winnable through its CTF and that a full card collection enters a raffle, but does not publish eligibility, entry conditions, required card set, winner count, badge quantity, cost, allocation, prize terms, odds, schedule, handoff, shipping, receipt, refund, replacement, or final fulfilment evidence.
No contest, lottery, acquisition, ownership, prize, or delivery outcome is implied beyond the narrowly stated planned CTF and raffle concepts.
