Mobile Low, Slow Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Integrated Defeat system (M-LIDS)

The US Army Contracting Command - Redstone Arsenal has a sole source requirement to provide Mobile Low, Slow Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Integrated Defeat system (M-LIDS). This effort is for procurement, delivery, and sustainment of the hardware, software, and firmware associated with M-LIDS in support of the U.S. Army and Joint Urgent Occupational Need (JUON) CC-0558.

The C-UAS capability provided is required to detect, track, classify, evaluate and defeat Group 1, Group 2, and low-end Group 3 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).

The period of performance for this effort is estimated at 60 months from date of award, including a 12 month base ordering period and four (4) 12 month ordering periods. The anticipated type of contract is Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Firm Fixed Price for all hardware, software, firmware and production related services; Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee for all non-production related services. This IDIQ will support a production quantity of up to 100 M-LIDS as well as deployment, sustainment and logistics support in various CONUS and OCONUS locations. The IDIQ will also provide the ability to develop, integrate, and test new capabilities to counter evolving UAS threat.
