Budget estimate

$100,000 – $1,200,000

The estimated budget for this opportunity is difficult to determine, as the document does not provide a specific budget or price range. However, considering the requirements for the UAS and the fact that the Government will procure an estimated quantity of 2-6 Tethered UAS per year, the budget could be substantial. A rough estimate for the cost of a single UAS could be in the range of $50,000 to $200,000, depending on the complexity and capabilities of the system. Therefore, the total budget for the contract could be in the range of $100,000 to $1,200,000 per year, assuming a 2-6 unit procurement.
