DroneShield erhält IDIQ-Rahmenvertrag für Domestic Shield der JIATF-401 im Wert von bis zu 500 Mio. USD

Three-year, USD$500 million contract vehicle supports accelerated deployment of counter-UAS capabilities for U.S. homeland defense Warrenton, VA – 30 September 2026 – DroneShield, a global leader in advanced counter-drone technology, today announced it has been awarded an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract supporting Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF-401)’s Domestic Shield initiative, with a maximum contract value of up to USD$500 million over three years. The award establishes a streamlined procurement pathway for DroneShield ’s counter-UAS capabilities to support Domestic Shield requirements and the rapid fielding of technology to protect defense critical infrastructure and other high-priority locations across the United States. Domestic Shield is a JIATF-401 initiative focused on accelerating the deployment of counter-UAS capabilities in response to the rapidly evolving threat posed by unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS). “Defending against small UAS threats is an immediate homeland defense requirement, and rapidly fielding proven technology is critical to the mission,” said Nate Webb, Director of Strategic Partnerships at DroneShield.“DroneShield continues to field proven capabilities while investing in next-generation technology designed to evolve with the threat. This award provides a streamlined pathway to deliver those capabilities to end users who need them.” The award builds on DroneShield’s expanding support of JIATF-401 and broader U.S. counter-UAS initiatives. DroneShield has previously delivered DroneSentry-X Mk2, on-the-move counter-UAS capabilities in support of JIATF-401 requirements, including successful installation and acceptance of deployed technology. DroneShield capabilities are also represented on the JIATF-401 Counter-UAS Marketplace, established to accelerate access to vetted counter-UAS technologies. The Domestic Shield IDIQ creates an additional contracting pathway through which DroneShield can support emerging operational requirements as the United States expands counter-UAS protection across military installations, critical infrastructure and other priority locations. “JIATF-401 is continuously working with industry partners to provide the counter-UAS capabilities needed to protect warfighters and installations,” said U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Matt Ross, director of JIATF-401. “Our approach allows us to identify the right capabilities for specific operational requirements and rapidly deliver those capabilities to the warfighter.” DroneShield provides counter-drone technology across dismounted, mobile and fixed-site operations, including radio frequency sensing, electronic countermeasures, command-and-control, artificial intelligence and multi-sensor integration. Its modular architecture enables capabilities to be deployed independently or integrated with third-party sensors and effectors to meet evolving operational requirements. DroneShield will announce material orders awarded under the IDIQ in accordance with applicable disclosure requirements. Source: DroneShield Click here to read the latest issue of ESD.
