The current conflicts have highlighted the need to enhance C-sUAS capability across the battlefield. Potentially, every squad, soldier, and unit will require the ability to detect and defeat small UAS and this will require common equipment across every Army formation at the Soldier level. C-sUAS Soldier Common Systems are defined as either an individual or crew-served C-sUAS systems, that provide self-protection, that is Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) Agnostic. C-sUAS Soldier Common Systems can be wearable, handheld or dismounted and can engage a small UAS through Electronic Warfare (EW) or by augmenting weapon optics.
Interested vendors are requested to submit one White Paper addressing their capabilities (may include partnerships, teaming agreements, and/or subcontractors), potential materiel/services solutions that meet the criteria referenced in the tender document (reference below).
