Drone Targets

The Air Force Test Center at Eglin, AFB, Florida, is seeking quotes for drone targets in accordance with the Technical Requirement Document dated 06 July 2026. The acquisition is a total set-aside for small business concerns, and the NAICS code is 336411, Aircraft Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1500 employees. The requirement includes the provision of drones, ground control stations, paired hand controllers, launch interface, and training. The offeror must provide a firm-fixed priced purchase order and specify their company's delivery timeframe in their offer. The government will evaluate the offers based on technical acceptability and price, with the award being made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror who is also found to be responsible. Some key points to consider: • The drone targets are to be used for counter-UAS testing. • A delta wing is preferred for its visual representation. • The Orange Cube autopilot is preferred due to its ease of use and Mission Planner compatibility. • The government will consider an equivalent commercial autopilot that provides the required functionality and is fully compatible with Mission Planner. • The offeror must provide a complete launch solution if the aircraft requires a physical launch mechanism. • Gasoline propulsion is preferred, but electric configurations may be acceptable depending on the use case. • The aircraft are not expected to be recoverable and reusable across multiple test events.
