Description

This Solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation, solicitation number W50S8N26QA020.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) number is 334511 and the small business size standard is 1,350 employees.

The Air National Guard requires a rapidly deployable, autonomous radar capability to detect, track, and classify small UAS threats in support of:

•             Domestic Operations (DOMOPS) and homeland defense

•             Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA)

•             Base defense and critical infrastructure protection

•             Agile Combat Employment (ACE) distributed operations

Intended Employment: A continuous, reliable, and scalable detection capability for day-to-day area surveillance, tracking, and early warning of sUAS threats in defense of protected assets and critical infrastructure.

THIS IS A TOTAL SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE.

AWARD WILL BE BASED ON LOWEST PRICE.

CLIN 0001- Drone Detection System

Must meet the following minimum salient characteristics:

The target system must provide wide-area, persistent sUAS detection and tracking. Utilize passive or low-emission sensors (e.g., Radio Frequency, Electro-Optical/Infrared, or Acoustics) to ensure safe operation in spectrum-sensitive environments without causing electromagnetic interference to friendly communications or aviation. The system's interface must provide operators with a common operating picture—including real-time location, altitude, and historical track data—enabling rapid situational awareness, threat assessment, and decisive action. Detect and track low-altitude, low-RCS, slow-moving sUAS Provide real-time classification (bird vs drone vs clutter) at the sensor Operate in RF-congested and urban environments typical of ANG missions Function independently of cloud connectivity (CONUS disaster / degraded comms scenarios) Provide non-proprietary open API Integrate with existing C2 and C-sUAS architectures such as TAC, Lattice, SAPIENT Must integrate into base architecture to provide a real-time, comprehensive sUAS air picture directly to the Base Defense Operations Center (BDOC) via a secure user interface
