Procurement of Electro-Magnetic Counter small Uncrewed Air System Defeat and/or Detect systems (and associated systems)

The UK Ministry of Defence is procuring Electro-Magnetic Counter small Uncrewed Air System Defeat and/or Detect systems (and associated systems) to enhance capabilities against small drone threats. This £1 contract likely serves as an initial notice or framework to solicit vendors for these detection and defeat technologies. It aligns with the UK's strategic push to counter UAS proliferation, evidenced by quadrupled counter-UAS spending, NPSA evaluations, and related procurements amid rising drone incidents near bases.
