Notice Title

Real Life Support Provision for Watchkeeper Operational Field Trials

Notice Description

Background. Watchkeeper (WK), the Army's Tactical Unmanned Air System, will undertake Operational Field Trials (OFT) from 18 Sep - 5 Nov 17.

A tented camp will be built to accommodate the 80-120 personnel participating in the trial; this camp must be properly established with cooking facilities ablutions and enabling utilities and facilities (water, power, infrastructure).
