5. Lot
5.1.
Lot: LOT-0001
Title: LOT 1 (EDA ref. N° 24.RTI.OT.273): Low Cost Attritable Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)
Description: This lot aims to field test innovative UAS Class I MICRO and/or MINI 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 10 kg). The lot envisions using multiple platforms to overcome the limitations of transporting smaller payloads. Considering the need for collaborative multi-platform UAS solutions and to ensure platform redundancy and availability during field testing, the Contractor must provide at least three complete UAS systems. However, additional platforms may be offered to enhance the technical proposal. This lot is open to receiving innovative UAS 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 UAS solution.

Lot: LOT-0002
Title: LOT 2 (EDA ref. N° 24.RTI.OT.274): Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Systems
Description: This lot aims to field test innovative UAS Class I MINI and/or SMALL solutions, focusing on the concept of using multiple platforms capable of transporting payloads up to 50 kilograms per platform. These platforms should feature Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) capabilities, designed to support a low to medium logistical footprint. The primary objective is to maintain operational flexibility with a light and agile footprint (ie, equipment carried by dismounted soldiers or by light vehicles) while still being able to transport effective payloads. Considering the need for collaborative multi-platform UAS solutions and to ensure platform redundancy and availability during field testing, the Contractor must provide at least two complete UAS systems. However, additional platforms may be offered to enhance the technical proposal. This lot is open to receiving innovative UAS 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 UAS solution.

Title: LOT 7 (EDA ref. N° 24.RTI.OT.272): OPEX Support team
Description: EDA intends to award a single Framework Contract (FWC) to a service provider to support EDA and EU MSs in the design, execution and evaluation of a military operational experimentation campaign. The specific objectives of this FWC comprise the delivery of the following elements: Develop a methodology to assess the capability maturity of products/prototypes. Develop an experimental design that clearly articulates the objectives, hypotheses, and methodologies, in close cooperation with EDA and MS representatives. Support in the planning and execution of the experimental campaign in close cooperation with EDA, the Host Member State and the industries involved. Collected data during the experimentation, analyse them and assess the experimental observations to derive reliable, actionable insights on the DOTMLPFI implications of future integration in capabilities of the products that participated in the OPEX. Support EDA and the Host Member State in the organization of a VIP demonstration day to showcase the experimental outcomes to high-ranked stakeholders.
