Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) Information Request

The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified vendors capable of providing Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) capabilities. The RFI aims to gather insights on the market landscape, focusing on detecting low-flying threats and offering low-cost defeat options, with an emphasis on integrating a provided Software Development Kit (SDK) into existing defense systems. This initiative is critical for enhancing the Air Force's capabilities against emerging drone threats, and interested vendors are encouraged to submit their feedback on the SDK, as well as information on Proliferated Low-Altitude Detect (PLAD) and Low-Cost Kinetic Defeat (LCKD) technologies. Responses should be directed to Mr. Robert Gill and Captain Adam Factor via email, with the potential for selected vendors to participate in a demonstration event scheduled for late May 2026.
