What the buyer wants

• Design, supply and deliver non-energetic FPV training systems or drones that are cost-effective and can be scaled up • Provide training capability and support services to deliver increased training mass (more training capacity) • Incorporate lessons learned from previous FPV training tranches to meet the final User Requirement Document
