Description

The U.S. Air Force (AFLCMC) is conducting market research via a Sources Sought Synopsis/Request for Information to identify vendors capable of delivering a man‑portable kinetic counter‑small unmanned aircraft system (C‑sUAS) that can detect, disrupt, and defeat hostile or unauthorized drones. This is an informational RFI only; no funds will be reimbursed for response preparation. Interested parties must submit their information by the stated deadline and indicate any proprietary or competition‑sensitive data as instructed. • Goal: Identify potential sources for a kinetic, portable C‑sUAS capability. • Scope: Provide technical, operational, and cost information on systems that can detect and neutralize small drones. • Deadline: Responses must be submitted by 28 Oct 2026 (17:00 EDT). • Location: Performance will be at Wright‑Patterson AFB, Ohio, but this is a market‑research effort, not a contract award at this stage. • Submission: Follow the attachment instructions for marking proprietary data.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $5,000,000

This RFI does not specify a contract award amount; however, a subsequent contract for a portable kinetic C‑sUAS system could reasonably fall in the $0.5 million to $5 million range, based on typical defense procurement budgets for niche counter‑UAS solutions, system development costs, and production volumes.
