The United States Navy has issued a special notice on the US government procurement portal, seeking information about counter-uncrewed systems. Specifically, the Navy is interested in identifying low collateral defeat capabilities for both homeland defence and defending US installations at home and abroad.
The document states that the C-sUAS (counter-small uncrewed aerial systems) Community of Interest in general, has viewed low collateral sUAS defeat as requiring an airborne intercept and capture solution. “Alternative methods of low collateral sUAS defeat exist in various stages of development and an intercept vehicle is not the only method available to achieve a low collateral sUAS defeat,” the document reads, adding “it is incumbent on the C-sUAS Community of Interest to explore the full range of low collateral defeat options”
Interested parties are invited to complete a survey by April 30.
