Request for Information - Omni-Directional Acoustic Sensor

The United States Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is conducting market research to identify possible sources capable of providing a man-portable Omni-directional Acoustic Sensor for both mounted and dismounted operations. The sensor should be able to detect Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) and provide near-instantaneous bearing for threats. The key performance parameters include portability, detection, threat identification, integration, and target tracking. Interested parties are encouraged to submit responses that demonstrate their technology and qualifications to provide the system. Some key points to consider: * The sensor should be man-portable for mounted and dismounted operations. * The sensor should be able to detect sUAS and provide near-instantaneous bearing for threats. * The sensor should be able to integrate with an End User Device (EUD). * The sensor should be able to track a moving target using decibel readings. * Responses should include company information, product descriptions, and rough cost estimates. * The Government is looking for a system that can be delivered within 6 months after receipt of order.
