Question Collection Matrix

Q1: On page 3 there is a 'cap' on the maximum height... up to < 122 meters above ground level (AGL), but this requirement does not carry over onto page 5, where there is no AGL requirement and only a 0-150m range. Can the Government clarify if the maximum height is 122m or 150m?

• USG Response: The operational requirement is for the proposed system to defeat a Group 1 or 2 UmS threat flying at an altitude at or below 122 meters Above Ground Level (AGL). The kinetic engagement itself must be successful at a slant range of up to 193.35 meters (Daylight) from the operator.

• Q2: There is a Night/Low-light lethality requirement of 0-100m. Our current system does not feature night vision optics, so 'positive target identification' is not feasible at the extended ranges. Can we submit our daylight capability with the knowledge that a future IR and/or Thermal optic could be applied?

• USG Response: No. The requirements stated in the RFI are for a complete, integrated system that is compliant at the time of submission. Respondents must propose a solution that meets the stated 0-100m night/low-light lethality requirement today. Submissions proposing future developmental capabilities to meet this mandatory threshold will be considered non-responsive.

• Q3: It would seem that the 'robustness' of the target drone... will significantly impact the cUAS system's lethality. Would the Government be able to establish a velocity for the UAS and a specific Make/Model of target drone to be used? This would guarantee consistency and comparative data between submissions.

• USG Response: For the purposes of this RFI, respondents should base their P(d/s) data on a Group 1 or 2 UAS target maneuvering at a representative velocity of up to 100 knots (approx. 115 mph). The Government will utilize a variety of

• Q4: Can the Government confirm that 'defeat' is defined by the UAS falling to the ground?

• USG Response: For the purposes of this RFI, 'defeat' is defined as a kinetic hard-kill that results in the target falling to the ground.

• Q5: It would appear that the Government is interested in test data to prove that our cUAS system is effective at 0-150 meters (daylight). If our system is effective from 0 to 120 meters, should we still submit it for consideration? i.e. is the 150 meter an Objective or Threshold requirement?

• USG Response: The 150-meter (Daylight) and 100-meter (Night/Low-light) ranges are mandatory maximum performance thresholds. Submissions that do not provide empirical, documented data proving a P(d/s) of 0.90 at these minimum ranges will be considered non-responsive.

• Q6: In light of the above... could the Government share its implied Test Plan?

• USG Response: The Government does not have a formal test plan to share at this time. All system performance claims must be substantiated by vendor-provided, empirical test data as outlined in the RFI.

• Q7: We respectfully request an extension from July 31 to August 31, 2026.

• USG Response: At this time, the Government does not anticipate granting an extension. The response deadline remains close of business on 31 July 2026. threat-representative target systems during any future formal testing and does not endorse or specify a particular make or model of drone for this submission.
