About this file
This is a Statement of Work for the installation of a new UAV netting enclosure at the Autonomy & Navigation Technology Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
The contractor shall remove the existing deteriorated netting and install a new fixed-position UAV nylon netting enclosure measuring 65 feet long by 45 feet wide by 40 feet high on existing poles. The netting must feature 4-inch or smaller holes per side, be flame resistant, and maintain less than 1 foot of flex into the interior space without wind between poles. Attachment hardware must not encroach more than 2.5 inches into the interior space. The contractor shall replace existing cables, install two 8-foot by 8-foot nylon zip entry ways with matching 4-inch or smaller holes that allow small vehicles and equipment passage without requiring a second person, and provide all labor, materials, and miscellaneous items necessary for completion. A minimum 5-year warranty covering netting, materials, and labor is required. Performance must be completed within 90 days of contract award, with work conducted between 0800-1700 Monday through Friday during normal business hours while a government employee is present. The work location is Area B Building 642 at 2950 Hobson Way, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio 45433-7765. Contractor personnel require real IDs and project manager sponsorship for base access through the visitor's center. Payment will be made upon submission of a properly prepared invoice following final inspection and acceptance, with invoices submitted through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) in accordance with the final contract award terms.

Statement of Work For
The Autonomy & Navigation Technology Center
Title: UAV Netting Enclosure Document
Date: 3 August , 2026
1. Background: The Autonomy and Navigation (ANT) Center is a forward-looking research Center seeking to identify and solve tomorrow's most challenging autonomy and navigation related problems. The ANT Center also supports the education of AFIT students who conduct ANT-related research projects. The navigation and autonomy technologies that are developed or evolved because of this research impact a multitude of Department of War (DoW) systems. One of the ANT Center’s core research thrusts is “Autonomous & Cooperatives System”. To increase the level of autonomy for the DoW, the ANT Center must be able to successfully perform test flights using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s). To do so, the ANT Center requires the use of a large outdoor UAV netting enclosure.
2. Scope: The ANT Center is requesting a new UAV netting enclosure to be installed to support teaching and research for the increased use of small UAVs in military conflicts around the world. The ANT Center currently has an outdoor "drone flight" structure that can be used to instruct students and test and help develop new capabilities for drones. This structure was constructed about 10 years ago (about 2x predicted lifetime) and was designed so that the net could be raised or lowered over time. Unfortunately, this ability to raise and lower the net reduces the space available within the structure for flight testing.
Furthermore, as the current net has aged, the attachment to the cables used to raise and lower have broken, reducing the space available within the structure for drone flight.
Currently only ~60% of the total possible volume is usable. Replacing this netting will increase total space available, providing more opportunities for students and other DoW users to perform research & training within this space. The poles are structurally sound, the carabiners/pins that hold the wire down to the concrete are coming up.
3. Period of Performance: no more than 90 Days After Contract is Awarded. Work hours would need to be done between 0800-1700 M-F (Normal business hours) while a government employee can be present. Base access would need to be established through the visitor’s center, and contractors will need to have real IDs and be sponsored by the project manager.
4. Location of Performance: Area B Bldg 642 - 2950 Hobson Way, WPAFB, OH 45433-7765
5. Requirements/Salient Characteristics: At a minimum, the Contractor shall provide the hardware, components, and labor to complete the installation of a new UAV netting enclosure. Requirements include:

Remove and dispose of current netting Install new UAV nylon netting on existing poles, requiring:
o Net Size of: 65’L x 45’W x 40’H o Net shall have “holes” of 4” per side or less o Must be a fixed position o Must be flame resistant o Net shall be tight, utilizing complete space, with less than 1 foot of flex into space without wind between poles o Attachment of netting to poles must not encroach on inner space more than 2.5”.
Poles can be included in inner space if desired.
o Existing cables shall be replaced.
o 2 8’ x 8’ nylon zip entry ways. When closed, shall have holes of 4” or less, similar to rest of net. When open, door(s) shall remain open to allow small vehicles to drive through or equipment to be carried in and out without 2nd person o Provide all labor, materials, and any other miscellaneous items necessary.
o Minimum 5-year warranty on the netting, materials and labor provided by the vendor.
6. Invoice and payment: The contractor shall be paid upon submission of a properly prepared invoice and after final inspection and acceptance have been made. The invoice shall be submitted to in Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) in accordance with the terms of the final contract award.
