Advanced Technology International has issued a Request for Solutions under the Training and Readiness Accelerator II consortium to develop a training device for the Drone Killer Cartridge. The objective is to create a non-destructive simulation tool for Force on Force training that replicates the effects of 5.56mm and 7.62mm ammunition against Unmanned Aircraft Systems. The device must be compatible with standard soldier-issued weapons and capable of simulating both the Drone Killer Cartridge and standard 5.56 ball ammunition while meeting current Individual Weapon System capabilities. Technical requirements specify a minimum range of 125 meters and a maximum range of 150 meters, with an effects circle of 3 meters at the 125-meter mark. Key evaluation criteria for prototypes include size, weight, and battery life. This effort is managed by the Department of Defense through the W6QK Acc-Apg-Orlando office, with a response deadline of October 14, 2026.

Desired Objectives: 


STE LTS requires a training device to simulate the Drone Killer Cartridge in Force on Force training. The Drone Killer Cartridge will engage training UASs in a non-destructive method. The training device must have a range of at least 125 meters but the range must not exceed 150 meters.  The training device must have an effects circle of 3 meters at 125 meters. As a soldier can fire either the Drone Killer Cartridge or standard 5.56 ball ammunition, the device must replicate both capabilities. For 5.56 ball, the device must meet current Individual Weapon System (IWS) capabilities. Size, weight and battery life are key considerations in selecting the prototype(s).



This Request for Solution seeks to develop a training device of the Drone Killer Cartridge. The device needs to reasonably replicate the effects of the 5.56mm and 7.62mm ammunition against Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS ) in Force on Force training. The device must work with the soldier’s issued weapon.

Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Virtual Software (VSW)
Solicitation # STE-VSW-26-0006
The Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Grounds Orlando Division, on behalf of the Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training, Test and Threat, is issuing a Call for Solutions (CFS) under the Army Open Solicitation W9128Z-25-S-A002. The objective is to modernize the Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Virtual Software (VSW) to address capability gaps in the current Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainer software baseline. The government seeks a cost-effective, technically sound solution that delivers a doctrinal gate to live fire, a true combined arms environment, full mission command concurrency, and an open system architecture with published SDKs and APIs. The total combined value of all awarded lots is approximately 250 million dollars. The acquisition is structured into five distinct capability lots based on a platform and application model. A strict organizational conflict of interest rule is enforced for Lot 5, prohibiting any entity performing on Lot 5 from participating in Lots 1, 2, or 4. Evaluation is based on three weighted factors, with speed to Initial Operating Capability (IOC) and a certifiable Table II training capability being the highest-weighted factor, followed by technical approach and relevant experience. Technical solutions are evaluated based on their architectural soundness, modularity, and integration readiness, with a non-negotiable requirement for the native ingest and render of One World Terrain data for initial system acceptance. The procurement process utilizes Other Transaction Authority under 10 U.S.C. 4022, featuring a milestone-based funding structure where progression to subsequent sprints requires a signed Certificate of Completion. Key dates include a final CFS posting on September 14, 2026, with solutions due by September 28, 2026. The process involves a down-select notification on October 2, followed by demonstration pitches and final awards anticipated by November 13, 2026. Submissions are divided into an administrative volume and an anonymous technical concept volume, with specific requirements for TRL 8/9 verification and the use of physical storage media for large government furnished information transfers.
