OPEN - Proliferated Low-Altitude Detection for C-sUAS
AI Overview
This DAF RFP seeks low-cost detection sensors for a perimeter network to identify low-altitude drones, including non-RF emitting "dark" drones, in cluttered environments for USAF and USSF base defense. The system must integrate multi-sensor data into unified tracks and support remote control via API integration with Air Force command systems.

Key Details
Official Description
This DAF focused open topic seeks C-sUAS detect options for transition into the USAF and USSF, specifically supporting AFLCMC/ES and the JIATF 401 marketplace. This effort seeks low-cost detection and recognition sensors to be configured as a perimeter network for early warning of low-flying drones. The sensors must be able to operate in cluttered environments and recognize non-RF emitting "dark" drones (distinguishing drone vs. not a drone). It must integrate data from all sensors at a node int...
Change History
OPEN - Proliferated Low-Altitude Detection for C-sUAS
Added new Q1 addressing sensor deployment flexibility (stationary vs. mobile platforms on UGVs/UAVs) and environmental performance requirements (fog, rain, day/night detection capability). Original technical questions (Q2) on D2P2 feasibility, "basic track" definition, and $100K cost applicability remain unchanged.
OPEN - Proliferated Low-Altitude Detection for C-sUAS
This Q&A clarifies that Phase I only requires a basic feasibility prototype (detection/tracking in non-operational environment), while Phase II must deliver the full system with 100m range, altitude coverage, 10km boundary, and C2 capabilities—and the $100K cost cap applies to the complete multi-node system, not individual nodes.
