Data collection using Yellowscan Voyager 30 UAS LiDAR system

The Performance Work Statement outlines the requirements for non-personal services for the Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC) Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The objective is to determine the ground resolution and vertical accuracy of the Yellowscan Voyager-30 LiDAR sensor deployed from an unmanned aerial system (UAS). A vendor will conduct a three-day data collection at Vicksburg Municipal Airport, performing flights at various altitudes (15-200m) over objects in two configurations. Deliverables include geo-referenced, three-dimensional point clouds in LAS file format within two weeks of data collection. The period of performance is eight weeks. Security requirements include E-Verify program compliance, DoD and Army security awareness training, and adherence to Force Protection and Health Protection Conditions. Performance will be measured by customer satisfaction, timeliness of deliverables, and invoices, with a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) and contractor-provided Quality Management Plan guiding evaluation.
