About
Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to Railscape T/A RUAS for the provision of incident management drones (UAVs) to the Environment Agency (EA).
The EA, as a category one responder, uses drones to obtain real-time information during incidents such as flooding, drought, pollution, and waste fires across England.
The drones support incident response by providing staff with timely information to make better decisions, particularly in areas where access is unsafe or impossible by other means.
The recorded footage also aids in learning and preparing for future incidents.
The contract value is AUD 1,750,000.
