No. 668Problem statementPublic servicesFire Fighting Drone for High-Rise buildings
The challenge proposes a drone to deliver firefighting foam at heights conventional vehicles cannot reach. Stated targets include delivery at 90 metres, a 60-litre-per-minute foam rate, a supporting vehicle with water and foam tanks for at least 20 minutes of firefighting, 45 minutes of flight endurance and 150 kg payload capacity. Optical and infrared cameras support remote viewing. A pump and integrated controls are required, with deployment from cold by two people within five minutes. These are proposed requirements, not validated performance.
No. 675Problem statementPublic servicesUAS-Borne NBC Detection Capabilities along with ALS equipped UAS (modular)
Develop a modular UAS with two roles: real-time detection and identification of nuclear, biological and chemical hazards, and a roll-on/roll-off airborne life-saving module for search and rescue. The source requires portable, reliable payloads using onboard power without interference. The rescue configuration needs encrypted communications, relay support, autonomous/GPS-denied navigation, night and harsh-weather operation, at least two hours endurance and integration with existing rescue systems.
