PKBB DroneShield DroneGun (Commodity)

Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)" for the procurement of DroneShield brand-name Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS). It outlines the necessity for a highly capable, portable C-sUAS to defend the F.E. Warren AFB installation and its geographically separated nuclear assets against emerging threats.

This document explains why the government is seeking to procure specific DroneShield products (DroneGun Mk4A, RfPatrol Mk2 Wideband, MAK WB) and associated training on a single-source basis. Key reasons include:

• Proprietary Al-Powered Detection Engine: DroneShield's continuously updated AI engine provides superior, real-time drone identification.
• Native TAK Integration: The system integrates seamlessly with the unit's current tactical network (TAK) using the required Cursor on Target (CoT) format.
• Simultaneous Detection and Defeat: The system can perform passive Radio Frequency (RF) wideband detection and jamming simultaneously.
• Range and Form Factor: It offers a verified detection range of up to 10 kilometers, a defeat range exceeding 1 kilometer, and a man-portable, lightweight form factor.
• Interoperability: It ensures seamless integration with existing C-sUAS architectures across multiple squadrons, avoiding operational silos and duplicated training.

Market research confirmed that no other commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product natively integrates with TAK and meets the specific requirements. The government will solicit known authorized dealers to ensure price competition. Future procurements will focus on open standards to allow for broader competition.
