UAV Thermal and Multi-spectral Sensor Procurement

The Defra Network eTendering Portal, acting for the Environment Agency (EA), procured UAV thermal and multi-spectral sensors from vendor Korec for GBP 13,950. These sensors support incident management drones used by EA across England to gather real-time aerial data for environmental emergencies like flooding, pollution, and waste fires, particularly in areas unsafe or inaccessible by other means. This enhances the EA's role as a category one responder in protecting lives and the environment through improved situational awareness.
