Request for Information - One Way Attack Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS)

The United States Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is conducting market research to identify possible sources capable of providing an Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)-robust one-way attack (OWA) drone. The system should integrate Global Positioning System (GPS), 4G/LTE/5G cellular connectivity, and have a range of over 20 kilometers. The drone is designed for specialized individuals within Special Tactics Teams (STTs) and will enable the integration of First-Person View One-Way Attack (FPV OWA) into core mission sets. Key features and requirements include: • Target Range: 10km (threshold) and 20km (objective) • Ground Launched VTOL System: Yes • Operating Flight Time without payload: 30 minutes (threshold) and 45 minutes (objective) • Operating flight Time with payload: 15 minutes (threshold) and 30 minutes (objective) • Kinetic Payload: 1.5Kg (threshold) and 3.0Kg (objective) • GPS: GPS in training environment (threshold) and Advanced GPS in denied operations (objective) • Reusability: Recoverable during training events • Electronic Safety and Arming Device: Yes • Payload options: Frag, simulator (threshold) and penetrator (objective) • Ground Station Controller: Unique application and hand controller/Ground Station (threshold) and Control through ATAK UAS Plugin (objective) • Comms Extension Payload/relay: >20km (threshold) and >30km (objective)
