Project FLYTRAP 6.0

1. Open Call for Technology

The United States Army invites large and small businesses from across the globe to submit an application to provide Department of War (DoW) Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (c-UAS) technologies for potential participation in Project FLYTRAP 6.0, conducted in the EUCOM theater with V Corps.
Project FLYTRAP is a recurring US/UK exercise uniting maneuver forces, industry, and the acquisition community to rapidly field emerging counter-UAS (cUAS) technologies and inform Army requirements.
The exercise adheres to the core tenets of the FLYTRAP series: US/UK integration, maneuver formation focus, progressive difficulty, robust OPFOR, data-driven assessment, and forward engineering. Project FLYTRAP 6.0 is a U.S. Army-led multinational counter-UAS experimentation exercise where roughly 1,000 soldiers will operate across 50+ square kilometers in a large-scale combat operations (LSCO) environment.
Project FLYTRAP 6.0 is an operational-focused initiative designed to evaluate emerging C-UAS capabilities in a realistic environment. Selected participants may be invited to deploy their systems and provide equipment to U.S. Army units for continued operational evaluation following the event. These kits will be assessed for suitability, effectiveness, interoperability, and operational relevance in support of Army modernization and capability development efforts. Participation in Project FLYTRAP 6.0 provides industry partners the opportunity to: • Demonstrate mature or near-mature capabilities in an operational setting. • Receive direct feedback from U.S. Army users.
• Inform future requirements and experimentation.
During the FLYTRAP 6.0 exercise, selected technologies will be operated by U.S. Army personnel in a replicated combat environment. Vendors should be prepared to train soldiers to operate and employ their equipment and to perform basic operator-level troubleshooting. All selected vendors must participate in one Risk Reduction Exercise in the EUCOM theater to test and validate the networking and interoperability of selected technologies prior to the FLYTRAP event. Because some Risk Reduction Exercises will occur early in the application review window, vendors are strongly encouraged to submit applications early. If your system is subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) requirements, V Corps will sponsor an ITAR Exemption Request through the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army - Defense Exports and Cooperation [DASA(DE&C)] to
