Description
The U.S. Army is seeking innovative solutions to support the rapid development, testing, and scalable manufacture of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) at the Red River Army Depot (RRAD) in Texarkana, Texas. The solution may leverage public-private partnerships with industry, academia, and nonprofits to scale sUAS manufacturing capacity. Key areas of interest include:
* Battery manufacturing for sUAS
* Establishment of a drone production and innovation facility at RRAD
* Leverage of public-private partnerships to scale sUAS manufacturing capacity
* Support for the "SkyFoundry Act of 2025" to require the Secretary of Defense to establish and carry out a program to enable the rapid development, testing, and scalable manufacture of sUAS
