• OPEN - Proliferated Low-Altitude Detection for C-sUAS

  DSIP · Open · Closing 2026-10-21 · Observed 2026-10-13

  DoW SBIR 2026 CSO sensor network, sensors, acoustic, optical, radio frequency, C-sUAS, sneaky drone, RF-silent dark drone, base defense Innovations in Counter-UAS sensor technologies, data processing, and networking to solve the "sneaky drone" problem by improving the detection, tracking, and identification of small, low-altitude, terrain-masked, and RF-silent Group 1-3 UAS. The system must detect targets from 1 meter up to 300 meters (threshold), 500 meters (objective) off the ground, with individual sensor nodes detecting targets at a horizontal range of at least 100 meters. The nodes must i
