Gauntlet 2 of the Drone Dominance Program is on the horizon. Following a grueling qualifier, we’ve invited 19 vendors to compete for 60,000 orders for small, lethal one-way attack UAS. Drones will compete in day and night operations across one or both mission areas: Long Range Strike and Tactical Assault in Confined Environments. See you at Fort Carson next month, and may the best drone win. Learn more: #DroneDominance #MayTheBestDroneWin

As drones continue to reshape the character of war, the Drone Dominance Program is seeking reusable bomber/dropper platforms to augment one-way attack drones. The DoW will award approximately $32 million in initial prototype orders. These capabilities will provide ground combat forces with the tools needed to locate, close with, and destroy the enemy in close combat. This newly announced “Mission C” is organized around two stages: a vendor-operated bomber qualifier and military-operated bomber gauntlet to identify the most capable systems for scaling and fielding. The Gauntlet will be held approximately 48 hours following the qualifier, currently planned to take place in October. Responses due by 31 July at 12 p.m. Eastern Time. Learn more and apply here:

This time, companies will need to bring 120 drones to the competition to prove they're up to the task. Learn more and apply here:
