NAVAIR & NAVSEA Open Topic for Counter Unmanned Air Systems (C-UAS)
AI Overview
NAVAIR and NAVSEA seek innovative counter-UAS technologies to defend Navy assets against the proliferating drone threat. Solutions should detect, track, and neutralize single or swarming unmanned systems using AI/ML, non-kinetic defeat systems, or adaptive threat recognition across air, sea, and ground platforms.

Key Details
Official Description
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) present a complex, multi-dimensional challenge that affects everything from individual ship protection to broad strategic operations in the U.S. Navy. The proliferation of cheap, easily accessible, and increasingly sophisticated unmanned systems by both state adversaries and non-state actors has created an urgent and evolving threat landscape. The nature of the UAS threat for Naval installations, Naval aircraft, and Naval ships is diverse and rapidly changing, creat...
