Quick decision context for procurement relevance and maturity.
The US Army issued an RFI to Raytheon for the Mobile Low, slow, small-unmanned aircraft Integrated Defeat System (M-LIDS), valued at USD 190,000,000, to procure mobile counter-UAS systems including Ku-band Radio Frequency Sensors (KuRFS) and Coyote effectors for detecting and defeating drones. This supports Army operations, particularly in US Central Command, as part of the broader LIDS program providing 360-degree threat detection and multi-mission defense against increasingly prevalent drone threats. M-LIDS builds on prior production contracts for fixed and mobile LIDS variants to enhance mobile deployability at bases and on maneuver.
