About this file
This is a Statement of Work for the installation of a UAV netting enclosure at the Autonomy & Navigation Technology Center located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), Ohio.
The contractor is required to remove the existing netting and install new UAV-grade nylon netting on existing poles within 90 days after contract award. The new enclosure must measure 65 feet long by 45 feet wide by 40 feet high, with mesh holes of 4 inches per side or less. The netting shall be installed tightly with less than 1 foot of flex between poles and minimal encroachment on interior space (maximum 2.5 inches at attachment points). The contractor must provide two 8-foot by 8-foot nylon zip entry doors that maintain the 4-inch hole specification when closed and remain fully open to accommodate small vehicle passage and equipment movement without requiring a second person. The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, and miscellaneous items necessary for complete installation. A minimum 5-year warranty covering the netting, materials, and labor is required. The work supports the ANT Center's research and educational mission in autonomous and cooperative systems, addressing the need to increase usable flight space from the current 60 percent capacity of the aging structure that was originally designed with raising and lowering capabilities.

Statement of Work For
The Autonomy & Navigation Technology Center
Title: UAV Netting Enclosure
Document Date: April 9, 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.
3. Period of Performance: no more than 90 Days After Contract is Awarded.
4. Location of Performance: , 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 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 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.
