Description

The Army is seeking commercial solutions to standardize and mass-produce Group 1 first-person-view one-way attack and loitering-strike drones. Proposed systems must support precision engagement, operation in severe electronic-warfare and GNSS-denied environments, a 1:20 aircraft-to-ground-control-station ratio, open interfaces, and integration with government-furnished training and live lethality payloads. The aircraft unit cost is capped at $3,000, and the submission must include a completed DCMA bill of materials documenting components and supply-chain origins. Selected performers would use government-furnished battery packs, motors, frame kits, and lethality kits to produce 400 flight-ready aircraft and 20 ground control stations. Ten percent of the units are due early for testing and training, with the full batch due by March 1, 2027. The effort includes domestic assembly verification and supply-chain inspections, participation in a March 2027 operational event, and potential priced options for scaled production of up to 10,000 aircraft. The current open submission is a Phase 1 solution brief; later presentations and full proposals are by invitation.
