Virtual C-sUAS Operator Training Development and Delivery

The contract seeks the development and delivery of virtual training for operators focused on detecting, identifying, tracking, and mitigating small unmanned aircraft system threats through simulation platforms. The training must be designed to build operator proficiency in real-world scenarios using advanced virtual environments, ensuring readiness without the risks and costs of live exercises. The work is scoped under a total small business set-aside, requiring the performer to be a certified small business as defined by the SBA, and falls under NAICS code 611430 for professional and management development training. The performance location is specified as Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, with all deliverables expected to align with Department of Defense standards and operational requirements. The solicitation was posted on July 7, 2026, with a response deadline of July 16, 2026, indicating a tight four-day window for submissions. The contract is classified as a subcontract, suggesting the winning entity will be working under a prime contractor or larger program vehicle managed by the Department of Defense through the FA3099 47 Conf Cc office. While no point of contact is listed, the physical performance site and federal agency affiliation imply direct coordination will be needed with military training units at Laughlin AFB. The emphasis on simulation-based instruction highlights a modern, scalable approach to countering rapidly evolving drone threats, with the end goal of creating a repeatable, standardized training capability that can be expanded across other units.
