Low-Cost Ground and Airborne Technologies to Detect, Classify, Track, and Defeat UAS-borne Threats, Request for Information

The US Army Contracting Command is seeking industry partners to provide low-cost ground and airborne technologies to detect, classify, track, and defeat UAS-borne threats. The technologies should be modular, mature, and have low Size Weight and Power (SWaP). The solutions may be ground-based or suitable for operation on Class 1 UAS platforms. The key requirements for the Sensing solutions are: • Detecting, classifying, and tracking Group 1 to Group 3 Unattended Aerial System (UAS)-borne threats • Being mature, modular, low SWaP, battery powered, and low-cost (< $3K per module in quantities of 10K+) • Having documented physical and electrical interfaces suitable for immediate integration The key requirements for the Effector solutions are: • Disabling or destroying UAS-borne threats • Utilizing non-kinetic soft-kill (disable, disrupt, confuse) solutions, or kinetic hard-kill (destroy) solutions • Being low cost (<$4K in quantities of 10K+) • Being suitable for integration into a Group 1 UAS or a fully integrated counter-UAS drone with a documented wireless interface
