About this opportunity
The United States Army invites applications from large and small businesses globally to provide counter-UAS technologies for Project FLYTRAP 6.0, a U.S. Army-led multinational experimentation exercise conducted in the EUCOM theater with V Corps, with quad chart and white paper submissions due October 16, 2026.
Project FLYTRAP 6.0 is scheduled for May 2027 and will involve approximately 1,000 soldiers operating across 50+ square kilometers in a large-scale combat operations environment. Performance occurs in Europe; selected vendors must participate in at least one Risk Reduction Exercise in the EUCOM theater (scheduled for November 2026 or February 2027) prior to the main event and guarantee delivery to forward units by February 2027.
The Army seeks mature or near-mature c-UAS capabilities across eleven capability areas: command and control, RF detection, passive and active radar, acoustic detection, EO/IR sensors, RF defeat, kinetic effects, directed energy, deception, c-UAS launched effects, targetry, and non-terrestrial-based systems providing operationally relevant sensing, communications, or effects. Kinetic systems must be compatible with currently fielded U.S. Army weapon systems without modification. Spectrum-dependent systems require completion of DD Form 1494 by November 13, 2026, including documentation of Department of War spectrum approval experience and Host Nation Approval for European operations.
Vendors must address common capability requirements across cost and lifecycle management, modular survivability and signature profile, interoperability and data management, theater entry and operational compliance, and SWaP-C optimization. Guaranteed participation requires submission of at least two systems. Submissions must demonstrate manufacturing readiness, supply chain capacity, and NDAA Section 889 compliance status. Selected participants may be invited to deploy systems for continued operational evaluation and potential rapid fielding; participation does not guarantee funding or contracting. Applications are submitted through https://universityoflouisville.my.site.com/FlytrapApplications/.

Update #2 · Latest ·
The United States Army invites large and small businesses from across the globe to submit an application to provide Department of War (DoW) Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (c-UAS) technologies for potential participation in Project FLYTRAP 6.0, conducted in the EUCOM theater with V Corps.
Project FLYTRAP is a recurring US/UK exercise uniting maneuver forces, industry, and the acquisition community to rapidly field emerging counter-UAS (cUAS) technologies and inform Army requirements.
The exercise adheres to the core tenets of the FLYTRAP series: US/UK integration, maneuver formation focus, progressive difficulty, robust OPFOR, data-driven assessment, and forward engineering. Project FLYTRAP 6.0 is a U.S. Army-led multinational counter-UAS experimentation exercise where roughly 1,000 soldiers will operate across 50+ square kilometers in a large-scale combat operations (LSCO) environment.
Project FLYTRAP 6.0 is an operational-focused initiative designed to evaluate emerging C-UAS capabilities in a realistic environment. Selected participants may be invited to deploy their systems and provide equipment to U.S. Army units for continued operational evaluation following the event. These kits will be assessed for suitability, effectiveness, interoperability, and operational relevance in support of Army modernization and capability development efforts.
