single_source_justification_CO_S_20250821_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the 30th Space Force Squadron (30 SFS) seeking a Non-Kinetic handheld Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft System (C-sUAS) called the DroneBuster. The procurement is for a specialized drone interdiction device to bolster the squadron's capabilities in preventing, detecting, and neutralizing small unmanned aerial systems. Market research confirmed Dzyne as the sole manufacturer of the DroneBuster, with the company's product offering superior capabilities compared to alternative devices.

The estimated contract cost is redacted, and the procurement is targeted for April 2021. The justification highlights the critical need for FAA approval, which has been granted with "universal" approval for operational use. The document emphasizes the DroneBuster's strategic advantages, including its ability to disrupt drone threats with a single unit, reduced logistical complexity, and familiarity within the existing Department of Defense system. The 30 SFS commits to continually monitoring the market for potential alternative sources and will share industry requirements to encourage competitive product development.
