Key Details
The Air Force needs a handheld, universally approved counter-small unmanned aerial systems (C-sUAS) mitigation device capable of effectively disrupting and neutralizing drone threats. The specific model is the DZYNE Dronebuster DB4 w/PNT w/ LED Arrays and Kits. The system must be a highly portable, standalone unit that does not require the deployment of multiple jamming nodes to disrupt a single drone, thereby minimizing the logistical burden on base defense personnel.
- What exactly do they need? The device must operate independently without the need for complex, fixed-site infrastructure or multi-system tethering, ensuring rapid and agile deployment by ground forces. Delivery will occur based on immediate base defense requirements, device availability, and installation schedules.
