About this award

Black River Systems Company, Inc., a small business based in Utica, New York, was awarded a $503,694 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Department of Defense (Washington District) on September 30, 2025, with completion scheduled for October 8, 2025. The contract, performed at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, involves the delivery of transceiver (TRX) nodes for integration with the Ninja Generation 2 Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS). Specifically, the award calls for a minimum of four TRX nodes per site to enable Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA)-based geolocation capabilities, which extend operational range, overcome line-of-sight limitations, and allow simultaneous engagement of multiple drone targets. This contract was awarded without a set-aside designation.

Black River Systems brings substantial experience in advanced defense technologies to this engagement, having previously delivered the Ninja counter-drone system under a $55 million Indefinite Delivery Vehicle with the Air Force Research Laboratory. The company holds additional significant IDV contracts including a $98.9 million agreement with AFRL for digital signal processing and technology development, and maintains established relationships with major technology partners such as L3Harris Technologies and other specialized subcontractors. The TRX node delivery supports the Department of Defense's counter-unmanned aircraft capabilities and represents part of the broader modernization efforts in air defense and unmanned systems countermeasures.
