UAS Controlled Via Fiber Optic Cable
Contract Opportunity Analysis
The Department of Justice, specifically the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), is seeking vendors capable of producing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) that are controlled via fiber optic cable and compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This Request for Information (RFI) aims to identify potential suppliers who can meet these specifications, emphasizing the need for UAS that operate effectively between the aircraft and the Ground Control Station (GCS). The procurement is crucial for enhancing operational capabilities in surveillance and reconnaissance missions. Interested parties, both small and large businesses, must submit capability statements by December 23, 2025, and direct any questions regarding the RFI in writing by December 10, 2025, to Brian Ames at bames@fbi.gov.
