The United States Air Force (USAF) Counter small-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) branch is requesting information regarding Low Collateral Effects Interceptor (LCEI) technologies related to countering the threat from small drones (Groups 1 and 2).
The Request for Information states that the LCEI should be autonomous aircraft with hard kill systems effective against Groups 1 and 2 uncrewed aerial systems.
All interceptor systems must be hosted on air vehicles that can be determined to be air-worthy by the government. The air vehicle must be based on or derived from US components and electronics and must have sufficient flight hours and reliability data.
Responses to the request are invited by November 25, 2024.
