New York-based research and development company SRC has secured a potential five-year, $425.9M contract from the U.S. Army to produce a system for countering small drones.
SRC will help the branch deploy an Expeditionary-Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aircraft System Integrated Defeat System and provide support services as part of the cost-no-fee, cost-plus-fixed-fee, firm-fixed-price contract, the Department of Defense said Thursday.
The Pentagon expects contract services to be complete by July 26, 2025.
E-LIDS is intended to help military personnel defend against intelligence gathering and armed UAVs that fly at varying speeds and altitudes.
