UAS Radar 750m 1 each Sale Default $ 1 each IDB Bracket Arms 45 4 each Sale Default 2 each This acquisition will be conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with a total estimated value of $35,605.

The AFLOAT CUAS project has a need for a small form factor radar that is capable of detecting C-UAS targets up to 650m; example target DJI Phantom. The radar needs to have a minimum of 110-degrees horizontal field of view (HFOV) and 80-degrees vertical field of view (VFOV). The unit must have a minimum of IP68 rating for continuous outdoor use. The radar shall be interoperable with the Black Sage Defense OS system. The procurement shall also include (2) gigabit cables utilizing a mil-spec 11-pin connector for interfacing with the Black Sage UASX system and (4) MESA-SSR hardware mounting brackets compatible with the Black Sage UASX system. Black Sage is the only company that can verify radar interoperability with their system, provide the custom gigabit cable and hardware mounting brackets for integration with their system. Market Research was conducted by the hardware integration engineer. In the search for a radar the MESA SSR is the only product that fits the detection requirements. Additionally, the SSR is required to integrate with the Black Sage Defense OS system which the government already owns. As such, the Government does not expect significant savings through competition and does expects significant and unacceptable delays that will negatively impact this requirement. Therefore, it is in the Government's' best interest to award on a sole source basis to Black Sage.
