The US Air Force is seeking a drone detection system that can provide wide-area, persistent detection and tracking of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS). The system must be capable of operating in RF-congested and urban environments, and must be able to function independently of cloud connectivity. The system must also be able to classify sUAS in real-time and provide a common operating picture to operators. The contract will be awarded to the lowest priced offeror. Key features of the system include: • Wide-area, persistent sUAS detection and tracking • Utilization of passive or low-emission sensors • Real-time classification of sUAS • Ability to operate in RF-congested and urban environments • Independence from cloud connectivity • Common operating picture for operators The scope of work includes the delivery of one drone detection system, with a delivery date of 30 September 2026.
