Multispectral False Alarm Mitigation

The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking innovative solutions through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program for a project titled "Multispectral False Alarm Mitigation." The objective is to develop a system capable of optically detecting, identifying, and tracking unmanned aerial systems (UAS) weighing up to 100 pounds and traveling at speeds of up to 100 knots, with a detection range of up to 10 kilometers, while also mitigating false alarms. This initiative is critical for enhancing counter UAS operations, particularly in complex combat scenarios where adversaries employ advanced tactics to disrupt military operations. Proposals for Phase II of this project are due by February 5, 2025, with the opportunity opening on January 8, 2025. Interested parties can find more information and submit proposals through the official SBIR website at https://www.dodsbirsttr.mil/topics-app/.
