Work to secure $20 million from the Army's counter-UAS funding to sustain and expand CCIC activities at Fort Drum and Picatinny Arsenal.

We urge the Army to take the next practical step and allocate $20 million out of last year’s budget reconciliation package’s $500 million for 'development, production, and integration of' counter-UAS funding to sustain and expand CCIC activities executed by Troika Solutions’ Accelerated Capabilities Team (ACT), in direct partnership with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center (DEVCOM AC) at Picatinny Arsenal and the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum.

The letter asks the Army to allocate $20 million for counter-UAS work to support and expand CCIC activities at Fort Drum and Picatinny Arsenal.
