Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) for the United States Marine Corps
This is a market research notice seeking information on commercially available, low-cost Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) with First Person View capabilities for potential future procurement by the Marine Corps. The government requires a system where the air vehicle unit cost is less than $4,000 and seeks production capability to deliver an initial quantity by April 2026, scaling to 5,000 units within 6 months and 10,000 units within 12 months. Key requirements include rapid reconfigurability, modular payloads for reconnaissance and lethal delivery, and the ability for Marines to modify and repair systems without vendor involvement. The performance location is associated with the Navy and Marine Corps Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program Office (PMA-263) in Patuxent River, MD. This is not a solicitation, and the government is not obligated to issue a contract based on responses.
