- Request for Industry Collaboration: The U.S. Army at Picatinny Arsenal has issued a broad agency announcement (W15QKN-26-S-1AZR) seeking industry input on counter-uncrewed and counter-swarming technologies.
- Objectives: The focus is on detecting, classifying, tracking, and defeating various types of enemy uncrewed systems, including aircraft, ground vehicles, surface ships, and submarines, individually or in swarms.
- Technological Focus: The main interest lies in using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to achieve long-range capabilities for detection and defeat, as well as developing AI-driven autonomous technologies.
- Specific Technologies: Of particular interest are effectors, kinetic defeat mechanisms, remotely operated and autonomous weapons, swarming uncrewed systems, munitions for uncrewed aircraft, precision sensing, and command-and-control network integration.
- Submission Details: Companies interested in contributing should submit white papers by 4 March 2031 to contact email. White papers may lead to full proposal submissions.
- Contact Information: Inquiries and administrative questions can be directed to Kelly Lynch; technical questions should be directed to Jessica Gondela. More information is available on the SAM website.
