The Department of Agriculture is seeking a multi-spectral sensor that integrates with an existing drone, specifically designed for vegetation scanning and temperature detection in crops. This opportunity is set aside for total small businesses under NAICS 334511, making it suitable for small manufacturers or suppliers in the technology sector. Interested vendors should note that this is a combined synopsis/solicitation, indicating they should track the opportunity for potential bidding rather than simply responding to a notice.

Description
SPECIFICATIONS | Multi-spectral sensor plus integration with existing drone
We require the following:
• Five bands for vegetation scanning
o Red, Green, Blue, Near Infrared and Red-Edge
o Should have similar wavelengths to our older MicaSense Red-Edge MX
sensor, to ensure data continuity with future scans.
• Additional thermal band for temperature flux detection in crops
• DLS light sensor to measure irradiance and sun angle
• 2064 x 1544 resolution
• Ground sample distance (GSD) of < 6 cm and <2.5 cm at 400 ft altitude for
multispectral and panchromatic bands, respectively. GSD of <35 cm at 400ft
altitude for thermal band
• Panchromatic band for pan-sharpened images
• CFexpress memory card for data storage and data transfer
• Must be physically integrated/wired with/to our existing Freefly Astro drone
