Timeline
    Description

    The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking proposals for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program focused on developing a modern low-cost warhead for counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS). The objective is to create a kinetic weapon that can effectively engage UAS targets in swarming scenarios while maintaining a cost-effective production model, ideally matching the price point of the threats it aims to neutralize. This initiative is critical as adversaries increasingly utilize low-cost UAS weapons, necessitating a scalable and rapidly deployable solution that can be integrated into existing military platforms. Proposals are due by May 21, 2025, and interested parties can find more information and submit their applications through the official SBIR website at https://www.sbir.gov/topics/11926.
