About this file
This document is a Statement of Objectives (Salient Characteristics) for a Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) procurement dated 11 March 2026.
The government seeks two handheld drone gun systems capable of detecting, tracking, identifying, and mitigating small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Groups 1 and 2. The integrated system must emit disruption or jamming signals in the electromagnetic-radio spectrum while maintaining detection and identification capabilities. Critical operational requirements include portability and man-portability for single-operator use by fire-team members moving continuously through rugged terrain without requiring setup stops. The system must simultaneously engage individual frequency bands for disruption while minimizing collateral interference to friendly communications and electronic systems. The drone gun component must disrupt signals on both RF frequencies and GPS satellite frequencies controlling drones, with preference for systems defeating commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) drone frequencies. Systems must be handheld rather than fixed-position and capable of real-time frequency determination and tracking of single drones and drone swarms. Preferred solutions will detect and mitigate both operator-controlled drones and autonomous drones preprogrammed to navigate predetermined routes. The system must be capable of vetting and approval for use with a 130i approved package. Additionally, the procurement includes an on-site training package structured as train-the-trainer instruction for up to 10 members in one day.

BCANGB – C-UAS SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS
11 March 2026
Integrated system that allows the operator to detect, track, and identify, and mitigate small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Groups 1 and 2.
System will mitigate drone threats by emitting a disruption or jamming signal in the electro-magnetic-radio spectrum, but must also be able to detect, track, and identify small UASs.
System must be small, mobile, and man-portable, and able to be operated by a single person (fire-team member) while continuously moving on foot through rugged ground terrain with a fire-team or squad of ground combat operators. System will simultaneously not require the operator to stop ground movements to set up and be able to engage individual frequency bands for disruption. This feature is critical for minimizing collateral interference to friendly communications and other electronic systems.
To counter the largest range of COTS drone threats, the drone gun portion of the system must be able to disrupt signals on RF frequencies as well as drones being controlled by GPS satellite frequencies. Preferrable solution will mitigate and defeat drones utilizing commercial off the shelf (COTS) frequencies. Drone guns must be handheld and not for a fixed position.
System must be able to determine drone radio frequencies and track in real time. Additionally, the preferred solution will have capability to detect, track, identify, and mitigate both single drones and drone swarms.
Preferable solution will be able to detect, identify, track, and mitigate drones being controlled by a threat operator and autonomous drones that have been preprogrammed to navigate themselves from and to predetermined locations and do not have an adversary operator on the ground.
System will have to be one that is capable of being vetted and approved for use with a 130i approved package.
We are looking for two (2) handheld drone gun systems and an on-site training package (train the trainer) for up to 10 members in one day.
