FAA-Verified UAS Detection Performance Validation

The contract mandates independent field testing and continuous validation of drone detection systems to ensure sustained detection rates exceeding 95 percent under protocols recognized by the FAA, specifically within complex radio frequency environments. The work focuses on verifying real-world performance of UAS detection technologies under operational conditions that replicate challenging RF interference, ensuring reliability and accuracy when deployed in sensitive airspace. Testing must adhere to standardized FAA methodologies and demonstrate consistent effectiveness across varying environmental and technological variables. The effort is positioned as a subcontract under NAICS code 541380, tied to the Department of Defense through the W7N7 Uspfo Activity Wvang 167 entity, with performance required at Martinsburg, West Virginia, ZIP 25405. All proposals must be submitted by August 7, 2026, and the solicitation was posted on July 24, 2026. The objective is to provide authoritative, third-party validation of detection system performance critical to safeguarding national air space, with results used to inform future FAA and DoD decisions on UAS detection capabilities.
