EXPEDITIONARY-LOW, SLOW, SMALL UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (UAS) INTEGRATED DEFEAT SYSTEM (E-LIDS)

The Department of the Army awarded SRC Inc. a task order under indefinite delivery contract W31P4Q20D0032 valued at USD 24,435,977 for the Expeditionary-Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Integrated Defeat System (E-LIDS), which procures hardware, software, and firmware to detect, track, classify, evaluate, and defeat Group 1, Group 2, and low-end Group 3 UAS threats. This system supports the U.S. Army's Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON) CC-0558 for counter-UAS capabilities in fixed-site configurations. Strategically, E-LIDS addresses the growing drone threat in modern conflicts, forming part of the Army's integrated 'system of systems' portfolio for layered defense of critical infrastructure and warfighters.
