UAS Kinetic Mitigation Capabilities and Response for the DHS Science and Technology Directorate

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is conducting market research for industry to demonstrate kinetic mitigation capabilities for countering small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS). The purpose of this request is to collect and evaluate the current state of the market for kinetic mitigation systems of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) which minimize collateral effects. The demonstration will focus on kinetic mitigation of Group 1 (0-20 lbs.) and Group 2 (21-55 lbs.) UASs, and will include scenarios or use cases in which kinetic mitigation could be used. The demonstration will also identify potential scenarios and outcomes from kinetic mitigation usage, and will develop a methodology to measure and assess collateral effects. • Kinetic mitigation of Group 1 (0-20 lbs.) and Group 2 (21-55 lbs.) UASs. • Develop scenarios or use cases in which kinetic mitigation could be used. • Identify potential scenarios and outcomes from kinetic mitigation usage. • Develop a methodology to measure and assess collateral effects. • Establish and define risks of kinetic mitigation in the homeland security mission space.
