SRC Secures $1B Qatar Deal for US Army Fixed-Site Counter-Drone System
SRC Inc., a U.S.-based not-for-profit defense research company, will deliver its advanced counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) technologies to Qatar under a historic $1 billion Foreign Military Sales agreement, marking the first international sale of the U.S. Army's Fixed Site–Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aircraft System Integrated Defeat System (LIDS). The LIDS platform is designed to detect, track, identify, and defeat small unmanned aircraft threats using integrated radar, electro-optical sensors, electronic warfare tools, and kinetic interceptors, providing layered defense and real-time situational awareness for fixed-site protection. SRC emphasizes the system's modular, scalable design that supports rapid integration of emerging sensors and effectors, allowing adaptability to evolving threats and deployment flexibility for both fixed and mobile configurations. This sale underscores growing global urgency to counter the rising threat of unmanned aerial systems to critical infrastructure and defense operations, while strengthening U.S.-Qatar defense ties. SRC's leadership highlights the operational relevance of American-engineered solutions in modern conflict zones and the importance of advanced sensing and electronic warfare capabilities to protect warfighters and high-value infrastructure. The deal reflects SRC's ongoing commitment to advancing technologies that bolster global defense readiness and warfighter protection.
