Memorial Deadline: Monday 23rd, October 2023
External Deadline: Thursday 26th, October 2023
Description
The IDEaS program is kicking its Counter Uncrewed Aerial Systems (CUAS) challenge up a notch by offering innovators a new opportunity to propose their low Technology Readiness Level (TRL 1-5) game-changing CUAS developmental solutions.
Much like the CUAS Sandbox, CUAS Concept Development is seeking conceptual solutions able to detect and/or defeat Micro and Mini Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) with systems that can be integrated into the broader military command and control systems.
Innovators will be eligible for up to $2.5 million in funding per project to advance their concepts into tangible technology, ready to be tested in a real-world environment!
There are two windows of opportunity for innovators to apply. The first window is now open and closes at 2:00 pm EDT on October 12, 2023.
DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 2:00 PM EDT ON OCTOBER 26, 2023
