Small open development multi-copter platforms

The NRC’s Center for Drone Innovation (CDI), part of the Drone and Flight Autonomy Laboratory (DFAL) is seeking to acquire a minimum of five (5) small autonomous multi-copter Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to serve as open, versatile research and development platforms. These systems must meet specific technical and performance criteria to enable the research team to develop, test, and validate advanced aerial applications, autonomy, flight control algorithms, and custom payload integrations. The selected multi-copter UAS platforms will provide reliable, compact and flexible testbeds that enhances the organization's capacity to conduct aerospace and robotics research.
