Droner - Anti drone innretninger utvikles for sivilt marked - Defence Daily

På Farnborough- og Le Bourget airshows har jeg sett mange utgaver innrettet mot det militære markedet. Den det jobbes med i artikkelen under er ment for sivile installasjoner. (Red.)

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) within the next year hopes to have in place a testbed at a major international airport to begin evaluating different technologies that can be used to detect, track and identify small drones flying near airports and eventually would like to test the ability to mitigate drone threats, agency officials said on Wednesday.

The agency is working with Miami International Airport, local police and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish the counter-unmanned aircraft system (CUAS) testbed, Keith Goll, deputy associate administrator for TSA’s Office of Requirements and Capabilities Analysis, said at an aviation security conference. The goal would be to bring in various sensors such as acoustic, radio frequency and radar, on “a repeatable basis…and develop a catalog of UAS detection, tracking and identification technologies,” he said at the American Association of Airport Executives annual Aviation Security Summit in Arlington, Va.

Her litt fra samme bladet om militære løsninger:

The Air Force Research Laboratory has scheduled an industry day this month to examine potential solutions for counter-small unmanned aerial systems ahead of issuing requests for information and requests for proposals early next year.

The industry day will take place Dec. 16 at the Griffiss Institute in Rome, New York, the headquarters of AFRL’s Information Directorate. A general session will be held in the morning, with 20-minute private appointments available for small business representatives, per an online contracting notice on beta.sam.gov.

“The purpose of this meeting is to provide interested companies/entities with an overview of the C-sUAS contract, promote an early exchange of information, and provide an opportunity for both the Government and Industry to gather more information prior to the Draft RFP and RFP being issued,” the notice said.

An original Nov. 13 notice revealed AFRL plans to award one indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity research-and-development contract with cost-plus fixed fee completion task orders over a 72-month period, worth up to $490 million. A draft request for proposals is expected in early 2020.

Kongsberg Gets $27M German CUAS 

Contract

Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace AS (KONGSBERG) has entered
into a contract with Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment
(BAAINBw) to deliver a Counter Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS)
based on the PROTECTOR Remote Weapon Station.

The contract worth 250 MNOK was won in an international bidding
process.

Germany is the first country to acquire a C-UAS solution with the
PROTECTOR as a kinetic effector. The emergence of inexpensive,
small unmanned aerial systems (UAS), also referred to as drones,
poses a relatively new threat to both military units as well as civilian
infrastructure and events, such as airports, government buildings,
power plants, political gatherings and sporting events. The
PROTECTOR RWS C-UAS has a rapid deployment and reaction time,
and is highly mobile.
