An RDA Outpost is a mid-sized operation built by the Resources Development Administration within the Western Frontier. These facilities are enclosed by a perimeter wall and protected by mounted turrets along with around a dozen roaming SecOps patrols (both on foot and in AMP Suits). These sites threaten the local ecosystem by polluting the surrounding area and must be destroyed in order to reclaim the land for Pandora to allow gathering and hunting of local materials.
After the outpost is disabled, nature will begin to recover quickly. Soon the remaining intact buildings will be entwined with vines, and plants such as bellsprig, dawn fruit, and rare varieties of leopard palm will grow on the territory of the outpost.

The RDA Outpost in Avatar: The Game.
The RDA Outpost is a small base built onto a floating rock in the north west of the Plains of Goliath. The only way onto it is via a bridge of vines and rocks that anchors it to the cliff in the north, which leads eastwards into Din Da'alo Village. Despite its small size and isolation, it is heavily guarded by automatic Turrets and SecOps personnel. It is evident that they have had trouble in the past, as one of the three shacks there has been destroyed.
It is not necessary to travel there as part of the main plot of the game. The only reason to go there is for the sector challenges.
