The Advanced Strategic Capabilities Accelerator (ASCA) is seeking industry support to enhance Defence’s counter small uncrewed aerial system (CsUAS) capability.
The mission seeks sovereign solutions from Australian industry and research organisations through a 2-stage procurement process.
Syracuse will address the problem statement: how might we provide viable sovereign effector options for the Australian Defence Force (ADF) integrated force capability optimised to mitigate the threats posed by small UAS?
Mission Syracuse will complement LAND 156, which will deliver a comprehensive CsUAS capability system for the ADF that is able to detect, track, identify and neutralise adversaries through a comprehensive, layered and distributed defensive approach.
Further information about Mission Syracuse’s Request for Proposal is available on AusTender.
A virtual market briefing for industry occurred on 15 May 2025 at 10:00 am AEST.
