sUAS SENSORS STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES (SOO)
1.0 Objective:
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) seeks to assess domestically produced innovative sensor solutions for integration with Group 1 (up to 20 lbs), Group 2 (20-55 lbs) and Group 3 (55-1320 lbs) Small Uncrewed Aerial Systems (sUAS) to enhance situational awareness, intelligence gathering, and operational effectiveness. The objective is to assess production-ready sensor systems deliverable within 6 months of contract award that meet or exceed specified performance and attribute requirements. All drones and critical drone components for this effort must be compliant with section 848 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (“FY 2020 NDAA”) (Public Law 11692).
2.0 Background:
The proliferation of sUAS technology presents both opportunities and challenges for the Air Force. Integrating advanced sensor capabilities onto sUAS platforms will provide enhanced reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA) capabilities. These sensor systems must be robust, secure, and adaptable to evolving operational environments.
3.0 Desired Outcomes:
The Government seeks sensor systems that:
•
Enhance sUAS Capabilities: Significantly improve the RSTA capabilities of Group 1, 2, and 3 sUAS platforms.
•
Rapid Deployment: Are production-ready and capable of integration and deployment within 6 months of contract award.
•
Operational Effectiveness: Provide reliable and effective performance across a range of operational environments.
•
Secure and Protected: Incorporate robust security measures to protect against compromise and tampering.
•
Sustainable: Are designed for ease of storage, maintenance, and long-term operational availability.
•
Exportable: Are designed with potential exportability in mind, considering International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and other relevant regulations.
3.1 Key Performance Parameters (KPPs):
The following KPPs are critical to the success of this effort: •
System Security and Anti-Tamper Protection: Sensor systems shall incorporate robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access, data compromise, and physical tampering.
•
Battery Power Storage Requirements: Sensor systems shall be designed to minimize power consumption and optimize battery life, enabling extended sUAS flight times. Clear specifications for battery types, charging requirements, and operational life are required.
•
Cybersecurity: Sensor systems and associated software shall be designed to meet
