Contractual engineering task (cet) 22-256 division counter unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) low, slow, small, unmanned aerial integrated defeat system (d-lids) operational network (dcon)

The Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) has awarded Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation a Contractual Engineering Task (CET) valued at USD 18,865,691 for Division Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS), specifically the Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aerial Integrated Defeat System (D-LIDS) Operational Network (DCON).[source data] This task order falls under the Advanced Technology Support Program (ATSP), which procures engineering development services to rapidly field emerging microelectronics technologies, close capability gaps, and address electronics obsolescence in U.S. military systems. Strategically, it supports countering low, slow, small unmanned aerial threats through advanced microelectronics integration, aligning with Northrop Grumman's C-UAS expertise and DMEA's mission to modernize military semiconductors.
