BCANGB - Handheld C-UAS

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document outlines the "Salient Characteristics" for a Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) handheld mitigation system. It details the essential features and capabilities required for the system, which is intended to detect and mitigate small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).

• System Functionality: Integrates with external detection and tracking, emits directional disruption or jamming signals (optical/laser dazzling not acceptable), and must be capable of integrating with ATAK for cueing.
• Operational Requirements: Small, mobile, man-portable, operable by a single person while moving, and does not require stopping to set up.
• Physical Form Factor: Rifle-style or gun-like, shoulder-held or aimed, standalone device (not an accessory to a duty weapon).
• Mitigation Capabilities: Disrupts RF and GPS frequencies, defeats drones using COTS frequencies, handheld (not fixed position), capable of mitigating single drones, swarms, and autonomous drones.
• Legal and Vetting Requirements: System must be vetted and approved under 10 U.S.C. § 130i. Apparent awardee must submit a package for legal review by HAF/JA, including technical specifications and test/evaluation data. Compliance with FAA and FCC rules is required. Final award is contingent on successful legal clearance.
• Deliverables: Two (2) handheld, rifle-style drone gun systems and an on-site training package (train the trainer) for up to 10 members.

This document defines the critical technical and operational requirements for the C-UAS system. Bidders must ensure their proposed systems meet all these salient characteristics to be considered for award. The legal review and vetting process is a critical condition for contract award.
