Description:
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking information from potential sources for Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) detection and analysis services at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC). The services will provide real-time detection capability for unauthorized UAS flights over and around KSC, and will provide threat analysis of detections to provide NASA-KSC Protective Services insight into threats. The contractor will be required to provide UAS detection and analysis services, including data and threat analysis, installation of hardware and systems, and maintenance and updates of the system. The system must be capable of detecting UAS at a distance of at least 40nmi from the center of Launch Complex 39 Pad B, and must provide 24 hour per day, 7 day per week, 365 day per year real-time monitoring, push alerts, and access to system data for monitoring at multiple locations. Some key requirements include: • Provide UAS detection and analysis services that can accurately detect and identify unknown UAS out to a distance of at least 40NMI • Provide a rapid and timely information to multiple users for response and mitigations at all times • The UAS detection system shall be capable of providing technical and threat analyses for KSC and will provide real-time detection and alerting capabilities to NASA KSC personnel • The system shall be compatible with, and have the capability to integrate with, existing Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), US Air Force (USAF), and US Space Force (USSF) counter UAS detection and mitigation hardware, systems, and processes

Budget Estimate (AI):

$500,000 – $5,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate, as the document does not provide a specific dollar amount. However, considering the scope of the project, which involves providing UAS detection and analysis services for a large area like the Kennedy Space Center, the budget could be substantial. The contract may involve ongoing services, and the contractor will be required to provide maintenance and updates of the system. The budget could be in the range of $500,000 to $5 million per year, depending on the specific requirements and the contractor's pricing. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the complexity of the system, the level of security required, and the contractor's experience and expertise in providing similar services.
