DoD's counter-drone marketplace expanded to speed access to validated systemsNewsDan Taylor Technology Editor Military Embedded SystemsDoD photo WASHINGTON, D.C. Joint Interagency Task Force 401 developed the application with Kaizen Laboratories to provide authorized users with a central location for finding counter-drone products that meet operational requirements, the statement reads. Planned enhancements will enable users to search for systems by mission need, examine validated performance data, and purchase products through existing acquisition channels, the department says. The marketplace also supports the U.S. Army’s Foreign Military Sales Fast Lane initiative. The DoD says the platform is intended to shorten requirements-development and procurement timelines while expanding access to counter-drone equipment among U.S. forces, domestic agencies, allies, and international partners.
