COLLABORATIVE LOW-ALTITUDE UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS INTEGRATION EFFORT UTM RDT&E, MATURATION, PRODUCTIZATION, OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT, AND DEPLOYMENT (CLUE III)

The Department of the Air Force awarded Booz Allen Hamilton a $25.8 million contract to support the CLUE (Collaborative Low-Altitude UAS Integration Effort) program, which is a UAS Traffic Management system designed to provide air domain awareness and situational awareness for unmanned aircraft operations on military installations. The contract covers research, development, testing, evaluation, maturation, productization, and operational assessment activities that will advance CLUE's capabilities for airspace deconfliction, real-time flight planning, and integration of small unmanned aircraft systems within Department of Defense controlled airspace. This effort is part of the Air Force's broader strategy to enable safe and efficient UAS operations across its bases while maintaining security and air traffic control coordination.
