Quick Summary
The 110th Wing, Battle Creek Air National Guard Base, Michigan, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify vendors capable of providing a handheld Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS). This requirement is anticipated to result in a Firm-Fixed Price contract. The system must be capable of detecting, tracking, identifying, and mitigating small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), specifically Groups 1 and 2. Responses are due March 26, 2026.
Scope of Work
The required C-UAS solution must be an integrated, man-portable system operable by a single person while moving on foot through rugged terrain. It needs to detect, track, identify, and mitigate both single drones and drone swarms, including those controlled by threat operators and autonomous drones. Key capabilities include disrupting drone threats on both radio and GPS satellite frequencies, with a preference for mitigating drones utilizing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) frequencies. The system must be able to determine drone radio frequencies and track in real-time, while minimizing collateral interference to friendly communications. The system must also be capable of being vetted and approved for use with a 130i approved package.
Key Deliverables
The requirement includes:
- Two (2) handheld drone gun systems.
- An on-site training package (train the trainer) for up to 10 members.
