UAS Drone Swarm Operations for Adversary Force Simulation

The contract seeks to conduct realistic unmanned aerial system swarm operations to simulate adversarial drone threats during Marine Corps training exercises at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. It specifically requires the use of Group 1 and Group 2 drones equipped with electro-optical and infrared sensors, as well as forward-looking infrared technology, to replicate the behavior and capabilities of hostile drone systems. These operations are designed to enhance the realism of training scenarios by providing dynamic, coordinated aerial threats that challenge defense systems and tactical responses under field conditions. This is a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, classified under NAICS code 541330, which pertains to other scientific and technical consulting services. The opportunity was posted on July 23, 2026, with responses due by August 1, 2026, and is managed by the Commanding General under the Department of Defense. Performance will be exclusively conducted at Camp Lejeune, ensuring operations align with existing training schedules and infrastructure. The requirement emphasizes operational realism and sensor fidelity to accurately mimic adversarial drone tactics, supporting the Marine Corps' mission to improve readiness against emerging aerial threats.
