About this file

This document contains specifications for a federal solicitation seeking a tricopter drone with multispectral and visual sensors. The solicitation requires a tricopter drone that meets UAS regulations and can carry a 4+ lb payload for at least 20 minutes flight time at wind speeds up to 25 mph and within a 12 mile range on a single battery charge. The drone must have a portable ground control station, rapid dual battery charger, and transport case. Additionally, the solicitation seeks a multispectral sensor with 6 bands capturing at 2 cm resolution and 2 captures/second, as well as a visual sensor with at least 24.2 megapixels, ISO 100-102,400, and 0.02 second autofocus. Up to 8 hours of training is required for the purchased equipment. The soliciting agency is the US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Field Research Implementation and Information Delivery Plains Area.
