# JIATF-401 Establishes $500M Counter-UAS IDIQ

Under the JIATF-401 Domestic Shield program, DroneShield’s U.S. subsidiary was selected as one of 10 suppliers for a three-year counter-UAS IDIQ framework with a **$500 million ceiling**. The ceiling is not a guaranteed purchase commitment: approximately $50 million was firmly committed across all 10 suppliers at the time of reporting, with future task orders and funded drawdowns providing the clearest evidence of realized demand. DroneShield also launched an annual subscription service, but disclosed no financial targets or terms for it.

- Procurement teams and contractors should distinguish the program’s maximum ceiling from funded orders; the reported $50 million commitment applies across the supplier pool, not specifically to DroneShield.
- Companies assessing the opportunity can track task-order activity and funded drawdowns to gauge demand for counter-UAS capabilities and identify where work is being placed.
- DroneShield’s subscription launch may signal a service-based offering alongside equipment, but the available reporting does not provide terms or financial targets for evaluating its commercial scale.
