Nano Unmanned Air System - Experimentation

The UK Ministry of Defence awarded a £1,398,975 contract titled 'Nano Unmanned Air System - Experimentation' to support technological experimentation with nano unmanned air systems (UAS). This contract, part of the ongoing Nano Unmanned Air Systems Experimentation Programme (likely Spiral 4 or 5), involves procuring sub-4kg, beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), highly autonomous nano UAS for testing and evaluation by the British Army and Defence Equipment & Support. It builds on prior efforts, such as KBR's delivery of nano UAS and earlier procurement of Black Hornet nano UAVs for rapid battlefield integration.
