In addition to the drones, Teal will deliver battery packs, chargers, propellers, gimbal-mounted cameras, carrying cases, and extensive operator training, wich includes ‘train-the-trainer’ programs.
this contract is part of a Blanket purchase Agreement (BPA) established between U.S. Customs and Border Protection and five drone manufacturers, announced in December 2021, with a projected total value of $90 million over five years. All drones included in this BPA are listed on the exclusive ‘Blue UAS’ registry, which is approved for procurement by the Department of Defence.
