Navigation must include 360-degree vision-based obstacle avoidance, GPS-denied navigation capabilities, autonomous subject tracking, and wireless operational range up to 12 kilometers line-of-sight with secure multi-band communications.
The system must be listed on the DoD Defense Innovation Unit Blue UAS Cleared List and fully compliant with Section 848 of the FY20 NDAA and the American Security Drone Act of 2023. The system must support deployment by a single operator in under three minutes and employ modular architecture for component replacement. The baseline package includes the aircraft, multi-band controller, two 150W batteries, a dual charger, three-year autonomy software subscription, and three years of maintenance and support. Cybersecurity protections must include encrypted storage and data transmission. FOB Destination applies to Fort Stewart, Georgia.
