Belgium – Military research and technology – Uptake of Innovation Autonomous Systems for Cross-domain Logistics: Service contracts for the provision of innovative solutions to participate in an operational experimentation with unmanned systems in the air and land domains

This lot aims to field test innovative UGS SMALL solutions, focusing on the concept of using low-cost, attritable platforms collaboratively to support distributed logistical supply concepts for the mass delivery of small payloads (under 100 kg). The lot envisions using multiple platforms to overcome the limitations of transporting smaller payloads. The locomotion types of the platforms can be either biomimetic, wheeled or tracked. Considering the need for collaborative multi-platform UGS solutions and to ensure platform redundancy and availability during field testing, the Contractor must provide at least three complete UGS systems. However, additional platforms may be offered to enhance the technical proposal. This lot is open to receiving innovative UGS solutions that meet or exceed Technological Readiness Level (TRL) 5, including prototypes and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems. The proposal may include more than one type of UGS solution.
