RFI for Fixed Site LIDS (FS-LIDS)

The US Army is issuing an RFI to Raytheon for Fixed Site LIDS (FS-LIDS), a counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) valued at USD 1,000,000,000, comprising Ku-band Radio Frequency Sensors (KuRFS) for 360-degree threat detection and Coyote effectors to defeat low, slow, small drones. FS-LIDS is procured to provide layered defense at fixed sites against drone threats, integrating with command-and-control and electronic warfare systems as part of the Army's Low, slow, small-unmanned aircraft Integrated Defeat System (LIDS). Strategically, it supports US Central Command operations and counters the global proliferation of UAS threats, with recent large-scale contracts indicating sustained demand.
