DASA are looking for a UAS platform that has the potential to be integrated and demonstrated as a full system in a representative urban test environment. * Lot 2: Lethal payloads under human control (payload systems) This lot is focused on providing a lethal payload that could be integrated with a UAS platform, as outlined in Lot 1 * Lot 3: Urban-optimised UAS with lethal payloads under human control (fully-integrated systems) This lot is focused on providing a robust cost-effective platform with an integrated lethal payload, demonstrating a full armed UAS system.
