"These capabilities are intended to combat small unmanned aerial vehicles and other means based on similar technologies available in the wide commercial market, which are currently used by our opponents in asymmetric combat operations against military personnel, as well as weapons and property of the US Armed Forces," it says in the description.

It is assumed that the contractor will develop technological solutions, create a prototype of the device and ensure the supply of a limited number of products for testing new technologies in combat conditions.

He must also provide the necessary software, hardware, technical documentation and reports.

The budget for the future contract may reach $ 490 million. 

Last year, the Pentagon announced that the United States intends to significantly intensify the development of means of protection against UAVs.
