En el marco de su Programa Small Business Innovation Research, el US Army ha solicitado a empresas tecnol\u00f3gicas, la presentaci\u00f3n de propuestas para el desarrollo y ensayos de un sistema de munici\u00f3n denominado Symbiotic UAS Delivery System (SCBDS). Los SCBDS deben ser sistemas aut\u00f3nomos con capacidad letal del tipo \u201cFire and Forget<\/em>\u201d y que puedan ser lanzados desde plataformas UAS del Grupo 2 y 3, con capacidad de batir blancos hasta 4 km y sin asistencia del operador, a\u00fan en ambientes \u201cGPS denegado\u201d. Se requiere un peso no mayor a 2,4 kg, con \u00e9nfasis en la miniaturizaci\u00f3n de sus componentes de navegaci\u00f3n y guiado. De esta manera, el programa SCBDS busca expandir sensiblemente las capacidades de combate de las organizaciones, integrando multiplicidad de sistemas UAS.<\/p>\n

The US Army is\u00a0seeking<\/a>\u00a0unmanned aircraft systems capable of launching multiple fire-and-forget strikes under its new Symbiotic UAS Delivery System effort.<\/p>\n

The Symbiotic UAS Delivery System (SCBDS) solicitation under the Small Business Innovation Research program calls for munitions that can be deployed from Group 2 or Group 3 drones and travel more than four kilometers (2.4 miles).<\/p>\n

They should also be able to strike targets without further input from the operator, even in GPS-denied or contested environments.<\/p>\n

The weapon must be self-propelled, reach at least 100 kilometers (62 miles) per hour, and not rely on a post-launch data link to complete its mission. It must also not damage the launching airframe when deployed.<\/p>\n

The solicitation sets a tight size and weight ceiling \u2014 the complete munition, including payload, must weigh no more than five pounds (2.26 kilograms) \u2014 and emphasizes navigation that combines low-SWaP inertial measurement with computer vision or pixel-lock guidance.<\/p>\n

SCBDS Program Stages<\/strong><\/p>\n

The SCBDS solicitation outlines a three-phase development process designed to transition the concept from feasibility studies to field-ready applications.<\/p>\n

Phase I focuses on a feasibility study to determine the most practical and technologically achievable approach to meet the army\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n

This includes assessing sensor integration, autonomy software, and delivery mechanisms suitable for small drones.<\/p>\n

In Phase II, selected developers will build and demonstrate a prototype system on a Group 2 or Group 3 drone, or a simulated platform if real integration is cost-prohibitive.<\/p>\n

While the prototype will not use live munitions, it must demonstrate all key performance criteria. These include launch stability, precision targeting, and autonomous flight behavior using inert payloads.<\/p>\n

Phase III will focus on commercialization and dual-use potential. The army expects technologies developed under SCBDS to have applications in commercial drone delivery, infrastructure inspection, and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear monitoring.<\/p>\n

Expanding US Drone Warfare Capabilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

The SCBDS program is part of a broader series of the US Army and Special Operations Command (SOCOM) initiatives to enhance the lethality and versatility of unmanned systems.<\/p>\n

SOCOM previously issued a request for drone-launched missiles that could operate as loitering or swarm munitions, extending the reach of small tactical UAS in combat.<\/p>\n

Other ongoing army solicitations include projects like\u00a0AI-powered drone swarm detection<\/a>, which seeks systems capable of identifying and classifying multiple aerial threats simultaneously, and\u00a0ground-based drone launcher<\/a>\u00a0concepts for deploying small munitions directly from tactical vehicles.<\/p>\n

The army has also integrated drone-launched precision munitions in field experiments through programs such as\u00a0Future Tactical Uncrewed Aircraft Systems<\/a>\u00a0and Air Launched Effects, which combine reconnaissance, electronic attack, and kinetic strike functions.<\/p>\n
