Description

The U.S. Army is seeking contractors to provide ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) drone tethering systems. This effort will support the deployment of tethered ISR platforms at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, enabling continuous power and data transmission for unmanned aerial systems. The contract will likely include design, manufacturing, integration, testing, and sustainment of tethering equipment compatible with Army ISR drones. • Provide engineered tether solutions that maintain reliable power and data links for ISR drones in field conditions. • Deliver complete system integration, including hardware, software, and training for Army personnel. • Conduct testing and certification to meet Army performance and safety standards.

Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $15,000,000

No contract value is disclosed. Based on comparable Army ISR equipment procurements, a full‑scale drone tethering system program—including design, production of multiple tether units, integration, testing, and sustainment—could range from roughly $5 million to $15 million. Smaller pilots or limited‑scope deliveries might be nearer the low end, while a larger fleet deployment with extensive support pushes the estimate higher.
