The 15 sUAS being vetted and evaluated through DIU's Blue UAS On-Ramp.
About the Project
Blue sUAS 2.0 expands the variety and capabilities of DIU vetted drones to provide DoD users compliant, secure sUAS. These systems were selected to include a variety of sizes, capabilities, price points, and flight modalities. Each system has undergone a cyber vulnerability assessment in accordance with the Risk Management Framework, is issued an associated Authority to Operate by DIU, and a FY20 Section 848 NDAA compliance check. Additionally, we are introducing the systems to the service level airworthiness organizations to accelerate approvals.
This effort also proves out a repeatable administrative onboarding process called “Blue UAS On-Ramp” designed to reduce barriers to entry for commercial sUAS and create a more permissive acquisition process for DoD customers. More systems will be added to the roster soon.
