AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, through its Science and Technology Directorate’s Office of Mission and Capability Support, is conducting market research via a Request for Information to identify kinetic mitigation technologies capable of countering small unmanned aerial systems in Group 1 (0-20 lbs.) and Group 2 (21-55 lbs.) categories while minimizing collateral damage. This effort supports a planned demonstration in November 2026 aimed at evaluating capabilities such as projectile, collision, containment, microwave, acoustic, laser, and non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse systems. The focus is on assessing operational effectiveness, potential risks including falling debris, missed target impacts, electromagnetic interference, hazardous material release, and threats to friendly forces, bystanders, and command-and-control infrastructure. Responses must demonstrate a Technical Readiness Level of three or higher, and submissions must be unclassified or limited to Controlled Unclassified Information, with all proprietary data appropriately marked. Participants must own or have sufficient rights to the intellectual property submitted and are responsible for all costs associated with travel, setup, and participation, as no financial compensation or contracts will be awarded through this RFI. Organizations interested in participating must submit a response by June 27, 2026, via email to the designated point of contact, including a cover letter with company identifying information, UEI number, socio-economic status, NAICS code, contract vehicle affiliations, and technical and contracting points of contact. Submissions are limited to one topic area per response and must adhere to a specific structure: a one-to-two-page corporate expertise section and a five-page overview of the system or service with a cost estimate. While this RFI does not solicit proposals or commit to future procurement, selected responders may be invited to demonstrate their systems and could be asked to enter into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the government. Evaluation will be conducted by federal technical experts, with assistance from contracted personnel bound by non-disclosure agreements, and final selection decisions will be made exclusively by federal employees. No feedback, evaluation outcomes, or selection criteria will be shared with submitters, and participation is purely voluntary with no guaranteed follow-on funding or acquisition activity.

Full Description

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Procurement Operations (OPO) issues this Request for Information (RFI) on behalf of the DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), Office of Mission and Capability Support (MCS).

DHS/S&T/MCS is conducting market research for industry to demonstrate kinetic mitigation capabilities, to include Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) denial, for countering small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS). Results of this RFI will support a kinetic mitigation demonstration scheduled for November 2026. The purpose of this request is to collect and evaluate the current state of the market for kinetic mitigation systems of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) which minimize collateral effects.

This RFI will be used to invite select capabilities to participate in two DHS funded sUAS mitigation demonstrations. The demonstrations will focus on the following:

Kinetic mitigation of Group 1 (0-20 lbs.) and Group 2 (21-55 lbs.) UASs.
Develop scenarios or use cases in which kinetic mitigation could be used.
Identify potential scenarios and outcomes from kinetic mitigation usage.
Develop a methodology to measure and assess collateral effects.
Establish and define risks of kinetic mitigation in the homeland security mission space.

The event will be a demonstration and will showcase kinetic mitigation capabilities to include but not limited to projectile, collision, containment, microwave, acoustic, laser, and non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NNEMP). The scenarios for countering the sUAS have been developed to reflect four broad DHS mission areas. The scenarios are designed to assess kinetic mitigation capabilities and potential collateral damage to friendly forces, bystanders, and/or property. Potential risk measures include, but are not limited to, collateral damage from falling debris, missed target damage, electromagnetic damage, hazardous materials, risk to friendly forces, risks to populations, and risks to networked command-and-control capabilities. Finally, the demonstration will develop potential risk measures of kinetic mitigation, and kinetic mitigation performance measures of success. The results will form the foundation for capability analysis, standards for risk analysis of kinetic mitigation usage, and baseline knowledge of kinetic C-UAS operations and use consequences.
