Designed for rapid deployment in under five minutes, the system must support mobile, dismounted, and fixed missions in harsh environments. Key technical requirements include a lightweight, 100% passive receiver system (such as the Skyview MPV3 or equivalent) weighing under 6 pounds for long-range passive detection, identification, and telemetry extraction of small UAS signatures up to 3 kilometers. The primary system must not exceed 35 pounds or dimensions of 13” x 8.5” x 19” to ensure compatibility with tripods, vehicle mounts, and personal loadout packs. Functionally, the C-UAS must cover multiple frequency bands (including 433/868/915 MHz and 1.2/2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz), provide a defeat range with over 550 Watts of RF power output, and offer GNSS denial coverage. It must feature robust connectivity, full API/ICD integration for external Command and Control (C2) platforms, and comply with strict military standards for environmental resistance (IP66, MIL-STD-810), safety (MIL-STD-882E), and cybersecurity (DIACAP/eMASS, system zeroize). The procurement includes a pole mount kit, tripod, cabling, a three-year hardware warranty, a three-year software license with quarterly updates, and advanced operator training.
