Portable Electronic Conspicuity Device Design & Manufacturing

The contract calls for the design, development, and manufacturing of compact, ruggedized electronic devices intended to broadcast signals on the 978 MHz UAT frequency to improve the detectability of low-flying military aircraft by unmanned aerial systems. These devices must be engineered to operate reliably in demanding environments while ensuring that sensitive aircraft identifiers are anonymized to protect operational security. The solution must balance high performance with minimal size and weight to allow for portable or easily integrable deployment across various platforms. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under the Department of Defense, managed by W6QK Acc-Rsa, with a place of performance at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, 35898. It falls under NAICS code 334511, indicating classification within electronic component and product manufacturing. Proposals are due by July 10, 2026, at 10:00 PM EDT, and interested parties must be prepared to meet stringent technical and security requirements aligned with military operational standards. The focus is on delivering a proven, field-ready system capable of seamless integration into existing UAS detection networks without compromising mission-critical confidentiality.
