The US Army will evaluate counter-small unmanned aerial system (C-sUAS) technologies ideal for urban environments during an industry demonstration at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, in April.
In mid-January, the service released a request for information asking interested vendors to submit White Papers detailing technologies capable of downing group 1 and 2 UAS that weigh less than 25 kg, travel at speeds less than 250 kt, and operate at altitudes less than 1,066 m.
After reviewing the White Papers, the army will select up to 10 companies to present oral presentations about their capabilities. The service will then pick up to five C-sUAS options to participate in the “low collateral interceptor” demonstration.
