The US Army plans to buy the 4925 RF Front End Retrofit from Black River Systems, which the record says is the only company that manufactures this device for the NINJA system. The retrofit is needed because Ninja is the USAF and ANG's program of record for C-sUAS capability, and the legacy RFFE model is outdated due to supply chain issues that affect its warranty and maintenance contract. The new model also offers greater engagement capability than the legacy RFFE.
