The Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) Office (JCO) is seeking industry information to prepare for their upcoming demonstration scheduled for March 2025. Responses to this Request for Information (RFI) will help the JCO refine the demonstration requirements and assess technology availability to set appropriate dates for the event.
The JCO is interested in learning about the industry’s C-sUAS capabilities that can function in a contested electromagnetic environment. The FY25 Demonstration 6 will focus on two main areas:
Group 3 Short-Range Defeat:
– Systems designed to detect, track, identify, and defeat (DTID) Group 3 UAS within a 2km slant range from the C-sUAS platform.
– Emphasis on small arms munitions at or below 40mm and kinetic interceptor effectors.
Groups 1 and 2 Dismounted DTID:
– Systems for dismounted forces to detect, track, identify, and/or defeat Group 1-2 UAS.
– Includes handheld weapons, personal weapon affixable systems such as enhanced optics, and warfighter wearable systems.
C-sUAS capabilities must operate successfully in a contested electromagnetic environment, with interference or adversary effects across the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS), including active jamming, within the frequency ranges of 30 MHz – 20,000 MHz.
