PURPOSE
The rapid evolution and increasing proliferation of UAS technology necessitate a comprehensive understanding of available kinetic Counter-UAS (C-UAS) solutions. This Sources Sought Notice and accompanying Industry Day are designed to identify, understand, and evaluate all kinetic C-UAS approaches currently offered by industry. Our goal is to gain a complete picture of the current kinetic C-UAS landscape to inform future development efforts.
INDUSTRY DAY
DEVCOM AC is hosting an in-person one-day Industry Day event on 28 April 2026 to discuss current C-UAS concepts and technologies. Key Government stakeholders involved in C-UAS capability development will be in attendance.
The morning session will feature presentations from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) outlining key aspects of the C-UAS mission, including user needs, design considerations, mission constraints, and relevant safety considerations.
The afternoon will be dedicated to a panel discussion with Government SMEs, providing industry partners with an opportunity to ask questions regarding the current approach to C-UAS concepts.
Please note that no competition-sensitive or vendor proprietary information will be released. General questions from industry clarifying points from the Government’s presentation may be shared with all participants. All company information received will be treated confidentially.
