About this file
This file is a requirements development document for Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (CUAS) mid-range sensing capabilities, prepared with operational security (OPSEC) considerations for the Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) Commercial Solutions Opening solicitation W912CH-24-S-0002.
The spreadsheet outlines technical requirements and specifications for mid-range sensing systems intended to support CUAS integration on ground vehicles. The document addresses sensor performance parameters, detection ranges, target classification capabilities, and integration standards necessary for identifying and tracking unmanned aircraft threats at operational distances. The requirements are structured to support GVSC's modernization priorities in autonomous systems and advanced ground vehicle capabilities. As part of the broader CSO managed by the Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, this requirements document establishes the technical baseline for commercial solutions proposals that may be awarded through FAR Part 12 contracts, 10 U.S.C. 4022 transaction agreements, or Cooperative Agreements under 31 U.S.C. 6305. The document reflects Army priorities for accelerating delivery of ground system capabilities through commercial innovation and demonstrates the specific technical focus areas that respondents should address in their proposals to support Army modernization and warfighter readiness objectives.
