The Rocky Mountain Region will use trailers to mobilize sensitive high value Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and related equipment for a variety of missions including incident response. Specific requirements for operations are based on the following:
· Robust security, ample storage, and built to navigate both interstate and uneven off-highway terrain safely and effectively.
· Shore-power connections for equipment, and lighting for night operations.
· Insulation and air conditioning to provide a stable environment for batteries and other sensitive UAS equipment.
· Size must be at least 6’x10’. The trailer shall not be any longer than 10’ to ensure maneuverability in difficult terrain.
· Robust construction for secure storage mounts and overall longevity.
