Attritable Unmanned Aerial Delivery Systems

The contract seeks the development of low-cost, disposable unmanned aerial systems designed for precision delivery of critical supplies in environments where communication capabilities are degraded or unreliable. These attritable drones must be engineered for rapid deployment, operational resilience under poor signal conditions, and seamless integration with existing Army command and control systems to ensure effective coordination during tactical operations. The focus is on affordability and disposability, enabling scalable use without significant financial or logistical burden, while maintaining mission-critical accuracy and reliability. The project falls under NAICS code 336413, indicating involvement in aircraft manufacturing, and is structured as a subcontract opportunity posted by the 413TH Csb under the Department of Defense. Responses are due by August 17, 2026, with the solicitation having been made public on August 5, 2026. The performance location and point of contact details are not specified, emphasizing the broad and flexible nature of the operational requirement. The system must be capable of functioning independently in contested, low-connectivity domains while remaining fully compatible with broader military logistics and command infrastructure.
