Drone Mapping/Surveying System

Description

Project name: Assessing hurricane damage and species vulnerability across six Jamaican forest ecosystems following catastrophic and compounding hurricanes. Hurricane Melissa represents an unprecedented scientific opportunity for studying the impact of the most powerful hurricane on record (since 1851) on six distinct tropical forest ecosystems in Jamaica, including a World Heritage site. This procurement covers the acquisition of an Integrated UAV Remote Sensing & Surveying System, specifically configured for high-precision environmental mapping and post-disaster ecological assessment. DJI Matrice 400 Drone Mapping Platform with LiDAR and Multispectral Payloads will assist in generation of valuable baseline data including species damage rankings. ## Contract award
