Intel Drone Light Show Enhances Super Bowl LIII Halftime Show

Intel Corporation partnered with the NFL to create the first-ever live drone light show during a Super Bowl Halftime Show. Intel and the NFL will also make advanced Intel True View highlights available for fans to relive the most exciting moments of the biggest game of the year.

As Maroon 5 began the song “She Will Be Loved,” 150 enhanced Intel Shooting Star drones floated up and over the field in a choreographed performance to the music to form the words “ONE” and “LOVE.” Intel enhanced the Intel Shooting Star drones specifically for the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show to emulate the experience of floating lanterns. The drones were also enabled to successfully fly a pre-programmed path inside a closed stadium environment without GPS. Additionally, the 150 drones flown indoors exceed the world record that Intel earned flying 110 indoor drones at CES in 2018.
