Russia’s Federal Security Service has issues a research tender for a micro-UAV sensor system project, according to the government’s state procurement portal.
An amount of 7 million rubles or $230,000 has been allocated for the mini-UAV project, aimed at developing a 200-gram (6.5 ounce) electro-optical surveillance sensor package, code-named ‘Fly Fisher’, with a take-off weight of less than 1 kg.
The tender requires a sketch design and a scale model to be created by the developer for testing, and also requests parameter definition for surveillance image transmission in real time, without any quality loss at a range of up to five km or three miles.
The developer will also analyze foreign and Russian scientific and technological research in order to assess the system’s stabilization, surveillance capabilities, and power supply needs.
The tender applications will close on February 21, with the study slated for completion by November 2014.
