Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is seeking market research for a lightweight, small footprint, rapidly deployable small unmanned aircraft system (drone) with advanced capabilities. The drone must include thermal imagery camera and specialized sensors comprising a telephoto module for power zoom, radiometric IR module for thermal precision, and 50mp module for mapping and low light inspections. Critical operational requirements include zero-light area operation with obstacle and collision avoidance, stealth mode for RF denied/RF silent missions with fully autonomous advanced mission actions, and dynamic launch and recovery capabilities from moving vessels and vehicles. For evaluation purposes, vendors must respond with drone specifications including dimensions and weight. The response deadline is July 10, 2025, with this pre-solicitation notice posted on July 3, 2025.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified contractors. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the notice.
