Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

Abstract

Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) efforts provide forces at all echelons with cross-domain capabilities to identify, classify, track, and defeat Groups 1-3 UAS threats, while supporting joint operational requirements. These combined arms solutions support the full kill-chain and result in solutions addressing fixed/semi-fixed, mounted/mobile, dismounted, and handheld missions. Development efforts are aligned with Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memorandum (JROCM) 078-20, which codifies the threshold and objective capability requirements for C-UAS development. FY 2025 Base dollars in the amount of $8.771 million will fund rapid component prototyping, facilitate operational assessments, pursue development and integration of mature hardware, address obsolescence, and test performance improvements of existing systems against current and near-term threats. FY 2025 Base dollars in the amount of $34.013 million will fund prototyping, pursue development and integration of emerging technologies, and test performance improvements against future threats. FY 2025 Base dollars in the amount of $5.319 million will fund technological development of C-UAS capabilities supporting deployed systems, to keep pace with evolving threats in response to existing Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON) CC-0558 (managed by PEO MS). FY 2025 Base dollars in the amount $1.554 million will fund technology refreshes in support of existing Army Joint Emergent Operational Need (JEON) system improvements in response to ST-0008, to provide Army priority fixed sites with the ability to detect, ID, track and defeat Group 1 and 2 Remote Controlled Model Aircraft (RCMA) (managed by PEO Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors (IEWS)).
