About this file

This document is an Attachment B Specification sheet for an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) for Volusia County, Florida, targeting mosquito control operations. The specification details a large treatment UAS with specific requirements for payload capacity, capable of carrying 40-pound bags of low-density materials like corn cob granules, and designed to handle three payload types: liquid, granular, and ULV adulticide. The system must comply with FAA regulations and security standards, including terrain-following and obstacle-avoidance capabilities, with an emergency return-to-home function that shuts down spray systems before executing.

The Ground Control Station (GCS) must be a self-contained, sunlight-readable unit with comprehensive software capabilities, including polygon and flight path creation, satellite imagery caching, shapefile importing, and detailed flight recording features. The system must generate precise shapefiles documenting sprayed areas, including data on swath width, ground speed, heading, altitude, and spray status. Critical specifications include a swath width of 20-90 feet for granular materials, autonomous return-to-home functions for communication loss or low battery conditions, and the ability to configure and store material specifications for precise application.

Attachment B - Specifications
2.1.1. Large Treatment Unmanned Aircraft System
Please complete the following or indicate "No Bid"
Specification DescriptionsIndicate Whether Item Meets Specifications YES / NODeviation
Payload tank must be capable of a volume capacity to load a 40 lb. bag of low-density material such as corn cob granules (i.e. both 40lbs. by weight AND the volume capacity to hold low bulk density materials).

UAS must abide by all security standards defined in 60GG-2.007 FAC, and critical components must not be manufactured in a "foreign country of concern".

Capable of three payload system types to include: liquid, granular, and ULV adulticide.

The ground control station must provide the user the ability to configure and store material specifications, including the name of the material, application rate, desired swath width, flight speed, altitude, rotating casting speed and flow rate.

For granular materials, UAS must be capable of 20-90 foot swath width based on user selectable materials and documented using industry standard swath characterization methods published by ASTM.

UAS must have terrain-following and obstacle-avoidance capabilities.

Emergency return to home or mission abort must shut down spray system prior to executing a return to home as required by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Ground Control Station (GCS) Software must/have:
Be capable of creating polygons, lines, paths or points; save, recall, and delete each flight plan.

Altitude settings must include a takeoff height for transitioning over or under obstructions and a spray altitude.

Autogenerate spray flight lines and display all waypoints and flight lines in GCS.

GCS must be able to be cache satellite imagery in case the operation is without internet access.

Be capable of importing shapefiles files to create treatment polygon.

Ground Control Station and Sunlight readable display must be an all-in-one unit. No external laptop/tablet/phone can be used.

Flight recordings; System must:
Create a shapefile that displays the area that was sprayed that includes the swath width data.

Create a shapefile that contains recorded point features with date, time, ground speed, heading, altitude and spray switch status (on/off).

Built in Emergency Procedures; System must:
Execute an autonomous RTH (Return-To-Home) in the event there is lost communication between the Ground Control Station and the aircraft.

Execute an autonomous RTH (Return-To-Home) when the aircraft battery reaches a low battery state.

Provide the user the ability to execute a pilot induced RTH.
