Two decades without a new interceptor is the quiet story under every C-sUAS pitch. Air Force still wants cheap perimeter sensors that catch low, dark drones. build-and-disrupt.com/opportunities/…
The Army hasn't fielded a new air defense interceptor since the PAC-3 MSE which received Milestone B approval more than two decades ago and achieved First Unit Equipped status in 2015. Since then the only notable air defense interceptor efforts have been around Counter small UAS
Adaptive payloads on USVs are the real bottleneck, not just hulls. DIU's SWAP-USV Sprint 2 is still open if you're building that layer. build-and-disrupt.com/opportunities/…
Snakes on boats? The @DeptofWar is bringing the whole damn arsenal. DIU, DRPM UxS and @DRPM_RAS are slamming the accelerator on Sprint 2 of the 12-month SWAP-USV Prize Challenge. diu.mil/work-with-us/s…
BREAKING: Leonardo DRS won a 3-year C-UAS sensing IDIQ with a ceiling of up to $500 million for the Pentagon's JIATF-401. Ceiling is not cash in the bank. Task orders will go to whoever can field sensing fast for low-altitude force protection.
🚨 EXTENDED: Army V Corps pushed Project FLYTRAP 6.0 c-UAS submissions to Nov 1 US/UK exercise in EUCOM, May 2027. Roughly 1,000 soldiers across 50+ km². 🎯 Large and small businesses, U.S. and allied 📄 1-page quad chart + white paper (≤10 pages) ⏰ Due Nov 1, 5:00 PM ET 🔗 build-and-disrupt.com/opportunities/…

🚨 CLOSING TONIGHT: Air Force wants commercial small-UAS and asymmetric tech Call 001 under AFLCMC's Small UAS & Asymmetric Capabilities CSO. Mature commercial solutions; details are in the SAM attachment. 🎯 Full and open 📄 Solution against Call 001 ⏰ Due Oct 15, 5:00 PM ET 🔗 sam.gov/workspace/cont…
The Army says it's open for business. Here's where the doors actually are. Every open DIU, xTech, SBIR, and Army opportunity, tracked in one place with deadlines 👇 build-and-disrupt.com
The Army is open for business! We are opening up our doors to partner with American innovators.
"Adaptation dominance" is the right goal. The question for small drone makers is whether this task force can actually buy, or whether it only tests and hands vendors back to the normal pipeline.

@DefenseScoop For a lot of software startups, the ATO has cost more time than the contract. If Gatekeeper really shortens onboarding, the advantage incumbents get from already being on the network starts to shrink. Watching for who it covers first.
FASCOM still has no published budget or HQ, but autonomy teams don't have to wait for it. Army Applications Lab's DevX Autonomy call takes a single 6-minute video pitch in place of a full proposal. Due Oct 31. build-and-disrupt.com/opportunities/…
First carrier strike group to deploy with a medium USV. The next step is already posted: the Navy's robotics and autonomy office has a MUSV Phase II integration and testing call out, due Oct 30. Looking for vessel, autonomy and perception teams. build-and-disrupt.com/opportunities/…
.@SECNAV "The Teddy Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group just deployed on October 8th, with a medium-sized unmanned surface vessel." This is the first carrier strike group TO EVER DEPLOY with an unmanned surface vessel.
