FAA ISSUES TWO NOTICES SEEKING INFORMATION ON DRONE MITIGATION AND DETERRENCE
September 26, 2020
On August 21, 2020, issued two notices requesting information on counter unmanned aircraft system (UAS) technologies. The first notice, available here, seeks white papers to identify eligible manufacturers, vendors, and integrators of UAS detection and/or mitigation technologies in support of the FAA’s Airport UAS Detection and Mitigation Research Program. The FAA plans to test and evaluate at least 10 technologies or systems later this year, with tests to initially occur at the FAA’s William J. Hughes Technical Center, located adjacent to the Atlantic City International Airport in New Jersey. White paper should be submitted by October 5, 2020. The second notice, available here, is a market survey that seeks to identify companies that have the minimum capabilities to perform live engine ingestion tests involving small drones, and the FAA plans for this procurement to include a 24-month base period. Responses to this market survey are expected by September 4, 2020.
