About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) Pre-Solicitation Synopsis issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground. The RFI (Solicitation Number W911QX-26-BA0001) seeks industry partners capable of providing innovative, affordable sensing and effector technologies for counter-unmanned aerial systems (counter-UAS). The Army Research Laboratory requires two primary capability categories: (1) modular, remote expendable sensing technologies to detect, classify, and track Group 1 to Group 3 UAS threats, and (2) modular, inexpensive effector technologies to disable or destroy UAS-borne threats. Interested vendors must submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations by the closing date, which is 30 days from the posting date. This notice is informational in nature and does not constitute a request for competitive proposals; however, the Government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to compete the requirement based on responses received.
The sensing solutions must be mature, modular, low size-weight-power (SWaP), battery-powered, and cost less than $3,000 per module in quantities of 10,000 or more, with documented physical and electrical interfaces for immediate integration. Solutions may be ground-based or compatible with Class 1 UAS platforms. Effector solutions must provide capability to disable or destroy UAS threats through non-kinetic soft-kill methods (disable, disrupt, confuse) or kinetic hard-kill methods (destroy), with multi-kill solutions preferred. These solutions may be ground-based, battery-powered (preferred), suitable for integration into a Group 1 UAS, or provided as a fully integrated counter-UAS drone with documented wireless interface capability. The contract is classified under NAICS Code 541715 and Class Codes 1095 and 5963 (Effectors and Electronic Modules), with no set-aside designation. The place of performance is US Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground, Adelphi Contracting Division, located in Adelphi, Maryland.

8. Description:
The United States Government provides this Request for Information (RFI) to determine potential responsible offerors capable of meeting the Government’s requirement of (1) modular remote expendable sensing technologies and (2) modular inexpensive effector technologies, which can detect, classify, track, and subsequently disable or destroy multiple drone-borne threats (see Section 9 below).
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, this notice does function as a Request for Information (RFI) for offerors who believe they can meet the Government’s requirement (see Section 9 below). Any responsible source who believes it can meet the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency, only if received by the closing date and time of this notice. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
9. Requirement:
The Army Research Laboratory is seeking industry partners with innovative affordable Sensing and Effector technologies suitable for immediate integration into a layered, counter-UAS System-of-Systems which is remotely emplaced by unmanned aerial systems.
The Sensing solutions must be capable of detecting, classifying, and tracking Group 1 to Group 3 Unattended Aerial System (UAS)-borne. Solutions should be mature, modular, low Size Weight and Power (SWaP), battery powered, low-cost (< $3K per module in quantities of 10K+), with documented physical and electrical interfaces suitable for immediate integration. Solutions may be ground-based or suitable for operation on Class 1 UAS platforms.
The Effector solutions must include capabilities to disable or destroy UAS-borne threats and may utilize non-kinetic soft-kill (disable, disrupt, confuse) solutions, or kinetic hard-kill (destroy) solutions. Multi-kill solutions are preferred but not required. Solutions may be ground based, battery powered (preferred) suitable for integration into a Group 1 UAS, or a fully integrated counter-UAS drone with a documented wireless interface. Solutions must also be low cost (<$4K in quantities of 10K+).
Responses to this notice are due on or before 30 days after posting by email to Kelly Bennett, kelly.w.bennett.civ@army.mil.
