US Army Seeks Autonomous Decontamination Systems

The US Army recently published a Request For Information (RFI) for Autonomous Decontamination Systems (ADS) to identify commercial aerial and ground robots for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) cleanup. The RFI seeks tethered and untethered drones, precision contamination mapping, spraying and rinsing capabilities, and transportability by light/medium tactical vehicles, intended to reduce soldier exposure. The filing requests feasibility information only, not pricing or procurement commitments.
