JA - DroneBuster BLK4_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the DroneBuster Block 4 system. The 60 SFS requires one DroneBuster Block 4 system to defeat small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) threats, with the DroneBuster being the Army's program of record for a handheld C-sUAS system. The Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (JCO) and Army have designated this as a sole-source procurement from DZYNE Technologies, LLC, which is the sole owner and developer of the DroneBuster's intellectual property. Flex Force Enterprises is named as the exclusive distributor and authorized seller to the Department of Defense.

The document details that the DroneBuster is a compact, lightweight, cost-effective commercial electronic attack system designed to detect and defeat drone threats. The system features a Satellite Navigation Attack (SNA) capability that can instantly disable drones during fluid, ambiguous encounters. The sole-source justification stems from DZYNE's unique intellectual property and the system's designation as the Army's Program of Record for the Dismounted Electronic Attack category. The contracting officer has determined on 24-Feb-2025 that a single source is reasonably available, with future market research planned to explore potential alternative sources.
