The USDA NRCS Missouri State Office is seeking to procure Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) equipment to support hydrographic survey operations for flood-related infrastructure assessments and conservation practice evaluations.

The USV will also be deployed to gather survey data on WRE, EQIP, and other NRCS conservation practices, enhancing data accuracy and operational efficiency. The equipment acquisition aims to improve employee safety by reducing the need for hazardous on-water survey methods while increasing productivity and data collection capabilities across Missouri field operations.
