The U.S. Army has initiated a search for a counter-drone missile, referred to as the Next Generation C-sUAS Missile, with a budget cap of $150,000. This missile is required to be compatible with Raytheon's Coyote launcher, as specified in the Request for Information (RFI).
This initiative is significant as it highlights the Army's ongoing efforts to enhance its capabilities in countering unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The integration with Raytheon's Coyote launcher suggests a focus on leveraging existing technologies to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness against drone threats.
Looking ahead, the Army's search for this missile indicates a growing emphasis on developing advanced defense systems to address the evolving challenges posed by drones. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
