# Air Force Expands CBC2 Counter-UAS Contract

On October 8, 2026, SciTec, a Firefly Aerospace subsidiary, received a $1.5 million extension to the Department of the Air Force’s Cloud-Based Command and Control (CBC2) contract, bringing its total value to $31 million. The extension adds approved counter-UAS sensor feeds to the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), continuing the Air Force’s investment in data fusion to detect, track, and characterize unmanned aerial threats.

- The work centers on integrating additional approved sensor feeds into CBC2 and ABMS, making sensor integration and data-fusion capabilities relevant to contractors pursuing related defense work.
- Companies with counter-UAS sensing, data integration, or cloud-based command-and-control capabilities can use the extension as an indicator of Air Force demand in these areas; the signal does not identify a new solicitation or open competition.
- SciTec President David Simenc said the system is designed to integrate additional sensors and data types as mission needs arise, underscoring the value of scalable architectures for this work.
