About this file
This is a Purchase Description (PD) for the procurement of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) 7-inch or 8-inch First Person View (FPV) assembled quadcopter drones, unassembled quadcopter kits, FPV pilot kits, and in-person training services. The requirement specifies delivery of 100 assembled FPV quadcopter drones, 16 unassembled FPV quadcopter drone kits, 17 FPV pilot kits, and 1 training event lasting 3-10 days. All systems must achieve strict compliance with NDAA Section 848/889 and FY24 NDAA Subtitle B Drone Security restrictions, with particular emphasis on eliminating restricted foreign-manufactured electronics and components from covered entities such as DJI, Autel, and their subsidiaries. The drones must feature solder-free components, weigh between 1-2 pounds, support 3-6 pound payload capacity, achieve speeds of 100-120 mph, and utilize standard plug-and-play connectors without proprietary quick-swap modular frames.
The assembled drones require carbon fiber frames, brushless motors with solder-free ESCs, LiPo batteries with multi-channel chargers, STMF722RE6T6 flight controllers, video transmitters with FPV cameras, 16-channel control receivers with NDAA-compliant long-range control links (e.g., BlueLRS RX/TX), and integrated FPV cameras. Unassembled kits must include 100% of all mechanical and electronic components with comprehensive schematics and assembly instructions using solder-free quick-connect methods. FPV pilot kits require ExpressLRS 2.4 GHz or NDAA-compliant long-range control links, OLED telemetry screens, internal 18650 Li-ion batteries, and hall effect gimbals with USB-C charging. The training requirement mandates 3-10 days of instruction covering unit training, build, flight, repair, basic and advanced flight operations, with class sizes of 3-8 students and training location at Moody with vendor-funded travel. Delivery must occur within 6 months, with vendors expected to account for extended lead times associated with NDAA-compliant microelectronics sourcing.

Purchase Description: COTS FPV Quadcopters
1. Scope and Mission Purpose This requirement is for the procurement of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) 7-inch or 8-inch First Person View (FPV) assembled quadcopters, unassembled quadcopter kits, FPV pilot kits, and in-person user training (3 days or more). The ENTIRE system must be strictly compliant with NDAA Section 848/889. In addition to the covered system components must be in full compliance with FY24 NDAA Subtitle B - Drone Security restrictions
Mission Need:
These systems are required to conduct “Red UAS” adversary emulation training and perform short-range Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR). The inclusion of unassembled kits is essential to allow personnel to understand system architecture and practice rapid field assembly and repair.
List of items to meet the mission:
100 EA - 7-inch or 8-inch First Person View (FPV) Assembled Quadcopters Drones 16 EA - 7-inch or 8-inch FPV Unassembled Quadcopter Drone Kits 17 EA - FPV Pilot Kits 1 EA – 3-10 Day User Training
- Min weight 1lb - Max weight 2lb
- Solder Free Components
- Payload Capacity: Min - 3lb | Max 6lb
- FY24 NDAA Compliance on ALL active components
- Speed: Min 100mph | Max 120mph
- No proprietary quick-swap modular frames, only standard plug & play connectors.
Operational Impact:
Failure to fulfill this requirement will leave forces without realistic, dynamic adversary UAS representation during training exercises, increasing vulnerability to modern drone threats. It also deprives tactical units of a critical, low-cost organic short-range ISR capability.
2. Regulatory & Security Compliance (Critical Risk Factor) The commercial drone market is heavily saturated with restricted foreign-manufactured electronics. To mitigate supply chain risks, the following compliance standards are absolute:
