HiDef Camera UAV

The Department of the Army, specifically the MICC-FT Drum, has issued a combined synopsis and solicitation under solicitation number W911S226U3211 for the procurement of two high-definition camera unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This requirement is classified under NAICS 336411 for Aircraft Manufacturing and PSC 1550 for Unmanned Aircraft. The opportunity is designated as an SBA Small Business Administration set-aside. Interested parties must submit their responses by the deadline of May 19, 2026.

The scope of this acquisition involves two distinct drone units, identified as Drone A and Drone B, both of which must include gimbal stabilization, storage cases, and 4K high-definition video and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. Drone A is a small UAV capable of 55 minutes of flight time, featuring a 28-mile range, GPS-denied flight functionality, and dual Sony 4K cameras. It is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -20 to 45 degrees Celsius and withstand winds up to 30 knots. The package for Drone A includes a field-swappable gimbal, three batteries, and a repair bag with tools.

Drone B is a nano-sized UAV with a takeoff weight of 153 grams, designed to be unseen and inaudible at 30 feet. It features a 36-minute flight time, 360-degree obstacle avoidance, and GPS-denied control. This unit provides 48MP still imagery and 4K MPEG-4 video, along with 320p/640p infrared capabilities. Like the larger unit, it includes a watertight, dust-proof transit case. One PDF attachment was included with the notice published on May 12, 2026, by the primary point of contact, Patrick Scott.
