The items included shall enable a dismounted soldier to operate the NUAS for two hours (It is accepted that the 2 hours are briefly interrupted 3-5 min coursed by change of NUAV and/or batteries).
The NUAS shall be a MOTS (Military Off-The-Shelf) product previously delivered to a NATO country. The framework agreement also covers spare parts, training courses and repair services.
