Description
Mission — Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Agile Development
Counter Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-sUAS) is a part of the Department of Defense Capability Based (Agile) Funding pilot, which provides enhanced capabilities by fostering innovation and accelerated deployment of promising technology. This funding line supports the Army Transformation Initiative and Homeland Defense and is an Air and Missile Defense Army modernization priority. The FY 2026 capabilities-based funding request will enable innovative cross-domain solutions to sense, decide, and act against Groups 1-3 UAS threats, while supporting joint operational requirements. These combined arms solutions will support the full kill-chain and result in solutions addressing fixed/semi-fixed, mounted/mobile platform, dismounted, and handheld missions. Development efforts are aligned with the C-sUAS Capability Development Document (CDD) and Annexes, which codify the threshold and objective capability requirements for C-sUAS development. The C-sUAS FY 2026 request also includes additional funding for development, testing, integration, and continuous improvement of C-UAS emergent requirements, such as the Next Generation C-UAS Missile (NGCM), Next Generation Electronic Warfare (EW), C-UAS non-kinetic interceptor, and Unit Common and Soldier Common solutions.

The Counter Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) FY 2026 capabilities-based funding request will enable innovative cross-domain solutions to sense, decide, and act against Groups 1-3 UAS threats, while supporting joint operational requirements. These combined arms solutions will support the full kill-chain and result in solutions addressing fixed/semi-fixed, mounted/mobile platform, dismounted, and handheld missions. Development efforts are aligned with the C-sUAS Capability Development Document (CDD) and Annexes, which codify the threshold and objective capability requirements for C-sUAS development. Fixed/Mobile System Capabilities: Funds rapid component prototyping, facilitates operational assessments, pursues development and integration of mature hardware, addresses obsolescence, and tests performance improvements of existing fixed and mobile systems against current and near-term threats. Initiates activities required to transition the current mobile C-sUAS solution to field level sustainment. Tech Refresh: Funds technology refreshes of C-sUAS capabilities supporting deployed systems, to keep pace with evolving threats in response to existing Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON) CC-0558. C-sUAS CDD Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I): Funds prototyping, development, and integration of emerging technologies, and testing performance improvements against future threats for C-sUAS programs. C-sUAS Emergent Requirements: Funds development, testing, integration, and continuous improvement to accelerate emerging C-sUAS capabilities, such as the Next Generation C-sUAS Missile (NGCM), Next Generation Electronic Warfare (EW), C-sUAS non-kinetic interceptor, and Unit Common and Soldier Common solutions.
