Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Phase 0 Rapid Fielding

The Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Phase 0 Rapid Fielding (C-sUAS Phase 0 RF) is a Department of Defense Middle Tier Rapid Fielding acquisition program designated under the Middle Tier of Acquisition pathway. The program, identified by DoD Acquisition Program Number 616, focuses on developing and deploying countermeasures against small unmanned aircraft systems. This rapid fielding approach suggests an emphasis on accelerated capability deployment to address emerging threats from small unmanned aerial platforms.

The program's most recent contract activity includes a $3.1 million firm-fixed-price delivery order awarded to Srctec, LLC, a division of SRC, Inc., for updating electronic warfare system block 1 installations at five locations outside the continental United States. The contract, awarded by the U.S. Air Force Central Command, runs through December 2024 and is being performed in North Syracuse, NY. Key subcontractors include Aethercomm, Emcom, MPL, and Ameripack, who provide specialized components and services. The contract was awarded without set-aside provisions, and SRC, Inc. maintains multiple indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicles across the Department of Defense for sensor systems, radar technologies, and engineering support services.
