About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $1.25 million firm fixed price purchase order to Oneradio Corporation, a small business, for the development of a passive radar-based real-time drone detection application. The contract, awarded on August 16, 2024, with completion targeted for February 17, 2026, represents the Air Force's investment in advanced detection capabilities to address the growing threat of unmanned aerial systems. The technology leverages passive radar methodology, which offers a non-emitting approach to detecting drones—a capability aligned with the Air Force Research Laboratory's mission to develop innovative solutions for emerging aerospace challenges. Performance of the work will take place in Seattle, Washington.
This total small business set-aside contract reflects the Department of Defense's commitment to leveraging innovative solutions from the small business sector for critical modernization priorities. The firm fixed price structure and specific performance timeline indicate a well-defined scope of work, with the contractor responsible for delivering a functional detection application capable of real-time drone identification. The passive radar approach offers strategic advantages in detecting unmanned systems while maintaining operational security, making this development effort particularly relevant to the Air Force's broader efforts to maintain air domain awareness and protect installations and personnel from evolving aerial threats.
