Counter-Drone (C-UAS) Technology for Ground Vehicles

The contract seeks to integrate advanced counter-unmanned aircraft systems onto mobile combat vehicle platforms to enable comprehensive detection, tracking, and neutralization of hostile drones in dynamic battlefield environments. The technology must be compatible with existing ground vehicle architectures, capable of real-time operation under combat conditions, and designed for rapid deployment across varied terrains and weather conditions. Systems must include multi-sensor fusion for accurate target identification, robust countermeasures for effective neutralization without collateral damage, and seamless integration with command and control networks to ensure joint operational effectiveness. The work is classified as a subcontract under the NAICS code 334519, indicating emphasis on electronic and electro-optical manufacturing for defense applications. The solicitation, issued by the Department of Defense under the W6QK Acc-Dta office, requires proposals to be submitted by August 2, 2026, with an emphasis on innovation, technical feasibility, and readiness for field testing. Performance is expected to support military operations across multiple domains, prioritizing mobility, scalability, and interoperability with existing defense systems. The focus is on delivering a ruggedized, adaptable solution that enhances force protection and sovereignty in contested airspace environments.
