Dismounted, Man-portable, Handheld, Counter-Unmanned System (MPHC)

The Department of the Air Force (FA852026MPHC) has issued a Sources‑Sought Request for Information to identify vendors that can provide a ready‑to‑deploy, dismounted, man‑portable, handheld Counter‑Unmanned System (MPHC) capable of detecting, tracking, identifying, and defeating hostile unmanned systems (UmS) with low radar cross‑section in cluttered, low‑light and all‑weather environments. Required capabilities include primary sensors such as 3‑D AESA radar and RF detection/analysis, secondary electro‑optical, infrared and acoustic sensors for threat validation, and kinetic hard‑kill effectors (guided projectiles, high‑energy lasers, interceptor drones). The solution must be COTS/non‑developmental, scalable and modular for fixed‑site, on‑the‑move vehicle, and man‑portable configurations, feature an open‑architecture design for third‑party integration, meet a minimum Technology Readiness Level of 7, and comply with strict military durability and quality standards (e.g., ISO 9001/AS9100). Respondents must provide performance data (detection ranges, defeat effectiveness, testing results), system integration details, deployment and support plans, logistics and lifecycle support, and answer commerciality questions regarding catalog pricing and workforce usage. Responses to the Capability Survey (Parts I and II) are due no later than COB 26 May 2026 and must be submitted electronically (≤10 MB per email) to Ricardo Jones (ricardo.jones@us.af.mil), with copies to Hayley Brown (hayley.brown.2@us.af.mil) and Gerald Singletary (gerald.singletary.2@us.af.mil). The place of performance is Warner Robins, Georgia. The RFI is for market research only; no contract award is implied, and all submissions become Government property.
