AFCENT's Shaw battle lab opens a rolling door for counter-drone systems
The AFCENT Battle Lab Commercial Solutions Opening, posted on SAM.gov without a notice number, seeks commercial counter-UAS capabilities for Shaw Air Force Base and U.S. Air Forces Central. Areas of interest include fusing multi-source data into one operational picture, kinetic and non-kinetic defeat of coordinated drone swarms, and modular open-systems sensor integration. The Air Force strongly prefers teamed, end-to-end solutions led by a single system integrator over standalone components. Awards will be commercial (RFO Part 12) contracts subject to available funds, and performers may need to show they can work at the Secret level before award. The 20th Contracting Squadron holds sole award authority. Solution briefs are accepted on a rolling basis until the notice's listed inactive date. Closes May 21, 2027.
