Homeland Convoy Counter Drone Operations
SBIR Opportunity Analysis
The U.S. Air Force, through the DoD SBIR program, is seeking a direct-to-Phase II counter-drone system for military convoys operating on public roads in non-permissive homeland environments. The effort calls for a prototype that can detect, track, and assess UAS around a convoy, determine trajectories relative to moving vehicles, and disrupt hostile drones using electronic warfare, other non-kinetic methods, or low-collateral kinetic options as a last resort. The solution must support intuitive human teaming, be SOSA compliant, and integrate with the Medusa GRA architecture so sensors, effectors, and microservices can work with existing government systems; Phase II also requires prototype development, documentation of interfaces, field testing, and a demonstration. This is a Direct to Phase 2 topic, Phase I-like proposals will be rejected as nonresponsive, and applications are due June 3, 2026 at 4:00 PM UTC.
