Army C5ISR Center surveys industry for a standard small-drone charging connector

Sources sought notice W56KGU27R1001 from the Army’s C5ISR Center Power Division asks companies to describe current products that could inform a standard charging connector or interface for Group 1 and Group 2 drones. The goal is a standard Army small-drone charger, or family of chargers. The interface in question sits between the drone battery and its charger, which may or may not be the same as the connection between the aircraft and the battery. Details are in an attachment on the notice page, and the place of performance is Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Responses close Nov. 20, 2026, 5 p.m. Eastern.
