Man-Portable C-sUAS Detection and Identification System Integration

The contract seeks integration of a man-portable, battery-powered counter-small unmanned aircraft system solution designed for operational deployment at RAF Mildenhall, emphasizing RF-passive detection capabilities to identify and classify drone threats without emitting signals. The system must be ruggedized for environmental resilience under field conditions and seamlessly interface with the Army Tactical Assault Kit platform to enable real-time situational awareness, threat tracking, and coordinated response workflows among ground personnel. Development and integration efforts must prioritize low power consumption, portability, and compatibility with existing military communications and command structures. This subcontract focuses on advancing C-sUAS detection technology tailored to the unique operational demands of a U.S. Air Force installation in the United Kingdom, ensuring the system meets stringent military performance standards for reliability, durability, and interoperability. The effort requires precise engineering of sensor fusion, signal processing, and data transmission components to function effectively in complex radio frequency environments. Proposals must demonstrate proven technical maturity, field-test validation, and the ability to deliver fully integrated units by the response deadline, with performance obligations centered on rapid deployment, minimal operator training requirements, and sustained operational effectiveness in dynamic threat scenarios.
