OPEN - Proliferated Low-Altitude Detection for C-sUAS
This Department of the Air Force SBIR Direct-to-Phase-II topic seeks low-cost counter-UAS sensor technologies for detecting, tracking, and identifying small, low-altitude, terrain-masked, and radio-frequency-silent drones. Proposed sensor nodes must support perimeter-network coverage, operate in cluttered environments, distinguish drones from non-drones, and meet specified detection-range and production-cost objectives. The topic opens September 23, 2026, and proposals are due October 21, 2026, through the Defense SBIR/STTR Innovation Portal.
