About this award
The U.S. Air Force District of Washington awarded a $1.5M firm fixed-price contract to Castalia Systems LLC, an SBA-certified economically disadvantaged women-owned small business, for uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) detection services at Joint Base Andrews and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. The contract, awarded September 26, 2025, with performance through September 25, 2030, calls for a subscription-based drone detection solution providing real-time and historic tracking data to support force protection and asset defense at these critical military installations. The solution must deliver comprehensive monitoring capabilities through a cloud-based platform with API access, including detection and identification of Class I and II drones with greater than 95% detection rates at ranges of 3-15 kilometers, along with detailed technical information such as drone type, serial numbers, flight maps, telemetry, and pilot location data.
Castalia Systems LLC brings relevant experience in federal contracting, with a portfolio of systems engineering, cybersecurity, and IT professional services across military and civilian agencies. The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside, reflecting the Air Force's commitment to supporting small business participation in critical defense procurement. The firm's existing federal contract vehicles and past prime and subcontractor relationships with major defense contractors position it to deliver the sophisticated, operationally continuous UAS detection infrastructure required to function reliably in humid subtropical climates without customer-deployed hardware.
