Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) Defensive Equipment Solution

The Office of the Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund (NDF) is seeking information on a comprehensive, multi-layered Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) defensive equipment solution. The primary objective is to secure a system capable of continuous, real-time drone detection, tracking, identification, and controlled mitigation within diverse, high-clutter operational environments. The system should be able to handle complex environmental clutter, autonomous threats, and protocol-level integration. The NDF is looking for a system that can provide early warning and definitive threat classification against Group 1 and Group 2 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Some key features and requirements of the system include: • Threat Set Versatility: The system should be able to detect and respond to a variety of threats, including custom, home-built, or modified DIY protocol variants. • Autonomous / Dark Drone Detection: The system should be able to detect and track targets flying autonomously via pre-programmed waypoint navigation without active RF uplink/downlink emissions. • Pilot vs. Drone Geolocation: The system should be able to define the operational delta between detecting the aircraft and locating the Ground Control Station (GCS). • Track Confirmation Metrics: The system should have clear criteria for constituting a "confirmed track" vs. an unconfirmed signal anomaly. • Signal Discrimination: The system should be able to automatically isolate UAS signatures from local environmental noise. The NDF is seeking responses from interested parties that can provide a comprehensive solution to these requirements.
