The Government is seeking Fifteen (15) each 10" Digital FPV unmanned drone systems, two (2) Mobile Ground Control Stations, peripheral operational hardware, connectivity systems, field support equipment, and a comprehensive on-site five (5) day Operator and Instructor Training Course at Stennis Space Center, MS. Airframe & Propulsion: 10-inch rotary-wing strike platform capable of carrying a minimum payload of 2.5 kg, with cruise speeds of at least 40 mph and maximum burst speeds of 105 mph. Endurance & Operational Range: Minimum endurance of 40 minutes flight time under standard operational payload configurations, with a minimum flight range of 35 km and RF command/control datalink capability up to 90 km. Sensors & Vision Pipeline: Factory-integrated dual Electro-Optical and Infrared (EO/IR) camera payload optimized for both daylight and low-light/night tactical reconnaissance and terminal guidance. Autonomous Terminal Guidance (ATG): Integrated onboard computer-vision AI terminal guidance engine capable of autonomous target acquisition, terminal lock-on, and target engagement in GNSS-denied, heavily jammed, or lost-link conditions. Encryption & RF Architecture: Digital transmission architecture operating within the 4.9 5.9 GHz band utilizing AES-256 encryption, open MAVLink telemetry protocol, and full compatibility with the MANTRAS encrypted aerial mesh network. Fully integrated, field-deployable C2 infrastructure designed for high mobility and operator training: Compliance & Certification: Full compliance with NDAA procurement standards and active inclusion on the DoD Blue UAS Cleared List. All hardware and firmware components must be free of unauthorized foreign microelectronics or unvetted software stacks. Mobile GCS Units: Delivery of two (2) Mobile GCS units built into an expeditionary 30L backpack form factor featuring rapid deployment capabilities (fully operational in under 3 minutes). Displaced Emitter Architecture: Each Mobile GCS must include a 100-meter displaced RF link cable and a RolaTube deployable mast system, allowing operators to decouple the RF transmission node and launch site from the concealed operator control position to prevent RF direction-finding and counter-battery targeting. Operator Display & ATAK Integration: Each unit must include a sunlight-readable rugged tactical tablet natively integrating ATAK and the MANTRAS Command Hub, enabling full Cursor-on-Target (CoT) telemetry broadcast and live digital video distribution across tactical mesh networks. Power & Backup: Delivery of two (2) GCS auxiliary battery packs providing continuous field operational power, integrated charging circuitry, and multi-source input capabilities. Operator FPV Goggles: Delivery of six (6) pairs of high-resolution digital FPV goggles configured for zero-latency operator video feeds, tactical audio, and head tracking/on-screen display (OSD) telemetry. Beyond Line-of-Sight (BLOS) Backhaul: Delivery of two (2) Starlink connectivity kits integrated with GCS hardware to support wide-area network backhaul and remote common operational picture (COP) dissemination.
