NASA Invites Firms for UAS Detection System to Enhance Security at Kennedy Space Centre
DEFENSESPACE ECONOMY
NASA is seeking industry feedback on a drone detection and analysis system to monitor unauthorized aircraft over the Kennedy Space Centre, with capabilities to detect unmanned aircraft from at least 40 nautical miles. The project, which requires access to classified information, aims to enhance security for personnel and assets and includes a user-accessible dashboard with multiple sensors. NASA will hold one-on-one meetings with potential contractors starting March 2, 2026, as part of this initiative, which aligns with efforts from the FBI, US Air Force, and US Space Force to address drone-related risks.
