Performance and/or Design Requirements (intended use, function or application, compatibility etc.

requirements; reference to policy, rule, statute or other act of the Legislature, etc., as appropriate):

The Fotokite Sigma patented actively tethered aerial solution provides public safety personnel the ability to have critical situational awareness. With a simple, intuitive interface the user can have an on-demand aerial view with the push of a button and a few finger taps to aim the camera where desired. At no time does the operator need to actively control the Sigma other than adjusting the height and redirecting the camera, allowing the user to concentrate on accessing the situation at hand and not the mechanics of piloting.

Intended source (vendor, contractor): Perspective Robotics US LLC

Price: $138,002.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source;

steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate): The actively tethered designation gives first responders the freedom to operate the system without the need for the usual drone certification/licensing from the FAA. The Fotokite Sigma is the only known system on the market that provides a total actively tethered solution.
