About this file

Written by GovTribe AI · Oct 16, 2026

This is a C-UAS Grant Program application budget and implementation plan template for the Fiscal Year 2027 Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems Grant Program administered by FEMA. The document serves as a comprehensive worksheet for state administrative agents (SAAs) and subapplicants to request federal funds for counter-UAS capabilities, with a total program allocation of $250 million distributed to all 56 states and territories. The application template includes detailed sections for project description, capability gap analysis, strategic plan alignment, implementation timelines, and performance measurement goals aligned with NOFO requirements. Applicants must address detection, tracking, identification, and mitigation (DIMT-M) technologies, with special emphasis on supporting the 2028 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Los Angeles, designated as a National Special Security Event (NSSE).

The budget template is structured across eight cost categories: personnel/fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, consultants/contractors, other costs, and management and administration (capped at 3% of total project cost). The sample project ("Operation Peregrine") submitted by Racoon City requests $5,608,951 and includes detection equipment (4 radar sensors at $255,000 each and 2 PTZ cameras at $35,000 each), a drone immobilization system ($4,200,000), personnel costs for supervisors and operators ($136,968), training expenses ($11,228), and M&A costs ($29,200). The application requires certification of compliance with DHS/DOJ policies, privacy protections, FCC/FAA regulations, data sharing commitments, and mutual aid agreements. Scoring is based on a 100-point rubric evaluating NSSE/SEAR event support (40 points), mitigation capabilities (30 points), detection-track-identify capabilities (8 points), deployment connectivity (4 points), SaaS data sharing alignment (6 points), trainer readiness (2 points), capability type (1-2 points), and implementation timeline (up to 2 points). The recommended funding period runs through September 30, 2028, with all project work required to be completed within 36 months of award.

Award Cover Sheet

The State Administrative Agent (SAA) should share this application template with prospective subapplicants. Subapplicants should rename the "Subapplicant" tab with their agency name (e.g. Racoon City), complete all required information on the tab and return to the SAA. The SAA is responsible for consolidating subapplicant requests and transmitting all requests to FEMA as a single attachment. The SAA should seek requests totalling approximately 150% of the total award allocation amount, allowing for competitive prioritization of project funding. Some cells in this document are "locked" to ensure consistency and unintended errors. If necessary, you may unlock sheets or cells with the password "2027CUAS". This form contains several Excel formulas intended to automatically adjust budgets as items are selected. Subapplicants should not remove these formulas and doing so may cause errors in funding decisions.

The SAA may use this section to estimate total requested project costs. SAA M&A is automatically populated. Project cost classification and corresponding POETE + subrecipient M&A may be manually entered, or auto-populated through Excel formulas upon completion when all projects are received. FEMA will edit this section as needed when making a final project funding determinations and provide the final determinations to the SAA.

The stadium worked with Dedrone to analyze the current system and physical landscape to design enhancements that would augment current system capabilities suitable to our environment. The recommended detection enhancement is for 4 radar sensors to provide 360 degree stadium coverage as well as 2 additional pan, tilt, zoom cameras with AI-connectors that can easily integrate into the current system and its central processing hub.

Cost estimates come directly from long-time stadium contractor, Dedrone, specific to installing and operating new system components

Criteria #

Criteria Description

Response

Is the applicant a qualified public safety organization? Non-qualified agencies should not be considered for funding.

Timely Implementation: Will full implementation occur within 36 months? Projects requiring longer than the period of performance for complete implementation will not be considered for funding.

Does the applicant have a history of completing projects within scope and on-time? Applicants with a history of poor performance should not be considered for funding.

Does the proposal include mitigation (i.e., kinetic or radio frequency intercept capabilities, such as spoofers, jammers, net systems or “kamikaze” drones?

Does the proposal clearly describe how it will detect, track, and identify UAS (mitigation may be described only if properly authorized, but is not required)?

Is the proposal redundant to existing capabilities (not counting other proposals submitted under this application, or expansion/enhancement of existing capabilities)?

To be completed by Subject Matter Expert reviewers only and in coordination with FEMA Program Office

Consistency in format will help ensure consistent reviews and results among applicants. Subapplicants should complete the below application and return it to their SAA to be considered for funding. SAAs seeking to implement projects should complete the below application for an SAA project. If completing projects on behalf of local agencies, complete a "subapplicant" tab for each local agency project. Tab name = Subapplicant name. One subapplicant = one project. Please "copy" tab to create more subapplicants. SAA project = one tab, identify "obo subapplicant" in equipment/services narrative when implemented on behalf of eligible subapplicants.
