The Department of the Air Force United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa is procuring four DISCOVAIR G2 systems through solicitation FA558725Q0070 to provide 360-degree detection and tracking of enemy small unmanned aerial systems using non-RF based acoustic sensing technologies for the 321st Special Tactics Squadron at RAF Mildenhall. This passive detection capability, which is currently absent in EUCOM operations, utilizes acoustic sensors with specific technical requirements including an Intel 4th Gen Core i7-460u CPU, 16GB RAM, 240GB SSD, Linux 64-bit operating system, and 128 MEMS microphones, along with environmental specifications such as -20C to 70C operating temperature range and IP65 ingress protection rating. The solicitation operates under a Firm-Fixed Price contract structure with vendors required to maintain active System for Award Management accounts and provide NATO Commercial and Government Entity numbers. Technical documentation submissions are limited to 20 pages, and quotes must be submitted via email to MSgt Lloyd Krugman and Ms. Claire Switzer. The original response deadline of September 5, 2025 has been extended to September 22, 2025 at 13:00 BST through Amendment 0001.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations due to the overseas location, operating under NAICS code 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,500 employees and PSC code 5826 (Radio Navigation Equipment, Airborne). No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the solicitation documents, and no specific contract values or budget ranges are disclosed in the available materials. The procurement involves exactly four DISCOVAIR G2 systems that must meet stringent military standards including compliance with multiple MIL-STD-810G requirements for durability in various environmental conditions. Performance will occur in Europe, specifically supporting operations at RAF Mildenhall in the United Kingdom, with detailed shipping instructions provided for both domestic UK vendors and international suppliers. The systems will enhance mission success by providing reliable threat detection capabilities for small unmanned aerial systems in contested operational environments.
