Domestic Shield Awards Include Echodyne Radar Systems
The US Army has awarded contracts to 10 suppliers, including Echodyne, to expand counter-drone capabilities under the Domestic Shield program. The procurement includes a range of technologies, such as drone detection, tracking, and engagement systems, and provides a streamlined route to identify, evaluate, and transition commercial capabilities. The awards were made through the Joint Interagency Task Force 401’s marketplace, which enforces strict open architecture standards to ensure new technologies can integrate into existing defense networks. This development was first reported by Defence Industry Europe.
