The Pentagon is speeding up acquisition of counter-drone sensors for military use, targeting a spring 2026 test with systems detecting small drones up to 2 km away.
The Pentagon is accelerating efforts to acquire counter-drone sensors for military bases and mobile units, targeting a spring 2026 demonstration at Yuma Proving Ground.
The Defense Innovation Unit seeks systems capable of detecting small drones—under 20 pounds and up to 1,320 pounds—at least 2 kilometers away, using radar to distinguish drones from birds and clutter.
Sensors must operate safely in populated areas and complex electromagnetic environments, support rapid integration with existing counter-UAS systems, and be deployable by troops without engineering help.
A key focus is on low-profile, passive sensing for light vehicles like the Infantry Squad Vehicle and Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, with broad RF coverage and resilience against electronic warfare.
The initiative aims to enhance protection across both homeland and battlefield settings.
