The US government is conducting market research for the rapid development, deployment, and continued support of the US Army Mobile Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Integrated Defeat System (M-LIDS).
“The US Army has a need to develop, produce, and maintain countermeasures against enemy-armed and intelligence gathering UAS’s operating at various speeds and altitudes which are targeting both US and their allies’ interests at home and abroad,” the Request for Information (RFI) states.
“Current M-LIDS systems consist of Coyote Missiles with launchers, a 30 mm cannon, a .50 caliber gun, an M240 7.62mm crew served weapon, an Electronic Warfare (EW) system, an Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) camera and a Ku-band Radio Frequency System (KuRFS) radar under the control of a Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAAD C2) system mounted on a M-ATV vehicle.”
The RFI states that future variants will be configured on a single vehicle such as a Stryker. All variants should be capable of identifying and defeating Group 1 through Group 3 drone threats. The system should also be capable of integrating additional sensors and effectors.
Among other requirements, interested parties must have sufficient engineering expertise to support the integration of the overall system as well as provide development activities to include both hardware and software capabilities. They should also possess or have access to a facility capable of testing capability at the system and component level.
Interested firms are invited to indicate their interest by January 24, 2025.
