1. Introduction The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Force Protection Division (AFLCMC/ESS) supports the United States Air Force (USAF) Security Forces (SF) by providing full lifecycle support for Air Base Air Defense (ABAD) capabilities. Included as part of these ABAD capabilities is Counter-small (Group 1, 2, & 3) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS).

AFLCMC/ESSprovides life cycle support of C-sUAS fielded equipment. The C-sUAS system is a Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) and Government Off The Shelf (GOTS) System of Systems (SoS) design comprised of multiple sub-systems which have one or more physical components.

These disparate components and subsystems are connected via a Command-and-Control (C2) system that provides a Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) for the operator to perform their necessary functions. The SoS provides the capability to Detect, Identify, Track and Defeat small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS). Mission requirements have driven C-sUAS to be deployed in various configurations including Fixed Site, Mobile, Portable, Transportable, and Handheld.

This PWS defines requirements for the contractor to provide full lifecycle support to ensure the continued capability development, and to provide C-sUAS Operational Availability at all locations, both CONUS and OCONUS. These systems serve to protect Air Force assets.
