FPV Kinetic UAS for Tactical Strike Missions

The contract calls for the design and delivery of first-person view capable unmanned aerial systems armed with kinetic effectors, intended for precision strike, breaching, and direct action missions in denied environments. These systems must support swarm coordination and autonomous targeting capabilities to enable coordinated, high-speed tactical operations under contested conditions. The technology must be ruggedized for operational use in austere and high-risk scenarios, emphasizing reliability, stealth, and real-time video feedback for operator control or automated engagement. Awarded as a subcontract under the Naval Special Warfare Command, this effort is part of a broader Department of Defense initiative to deploy next-generation tactical UAS assets. The response deadline is December 31, 2026, with performance slated for a location in 92155. The North American Industry Classification System code 332994 indicates manufacturing of other fabricated metal products, aligning with the specialized production of compact, weaponized aerial platforms. Participation is open to qualified entities capable of meeting stringent technical requirements for autonomy, kinetic payload integration, and swarm interoperability without specified set-asides or restrictions on bidder type.
