Attachment 1: PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Department of the Army

Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3/5/7

Fires / Joint small-Unmanned Aircraft Organization (JCO)

1.0 BACKGROUND

The exponential growth of small-unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) creates new risks for the Department of Defense (DoD). Technology trends are dramatically transforming legitimate applications of sUAS while simultaneously making them increasingly capable weapons in the hands of state actors, non-state actors, and criminals. When controlled by negligent or reckless operators, sUAS also pose potential hazards to DoD operations in air, land, maritime, and space domains, and the information environment (which includes cyberspace). Using a risk-based approach, DoD must take appropriate steps to protect and defend personnel, facilities, and assets in an environment where increasing numbers of sUAS will share the skies with DoD aircraft, operate in the airspace over

DoD installations, and be employed by our Nation’s adversaries.

2.0 OBJECTIVES

The Joint C-sUAS Office leads and directs Department of Defense C-sUAS Doctrine, Requirements, Materiel, and Training efforts and establishes Joint solutions within a common architecture in order to address current and future small UAS threats and enhance warfighter capabilities to deploy, fight, and win against any threat at home or abroad.
