## Notice

AEC require a ready-to-fly small unmanned aircraft vehicle (SUA/UAV) system with (ideally) fully-integrated co-aligned hyperspectral visible and near-infrared (VNIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) (400 - 2500nm) and LiDAR sensors, along with in-flight data capture and storage system. To enable data to be captured to high geolocation accuracy, the system must be fitted with high performance GNSS/GPS and IMU. The system package is to include all software needed for data integration, post-processing and mission planning to enable the full utilisation of the payload attached/integrated to the UAV. We are looking for delivery of the solution mid-end November 2021.
