Could Grant Funding Support Your Next Mission-Ready Vehicle?

FEMA has opened the FY 2027 Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) Grant Program, making $250 million available nationwide to expand capabilities for drone detection, identification, tracking, monitoring, and authorized mitigation.

Through the program, eligible state and local governments and their subrecipients may use grant funds to purchase Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Detection, Identification, Monitoring, Tracking, and Mitigation (DIMT-M) technologies. These solutions help public safety officials protect the public and critical infrastructure from nefarious or unlawful UAS activity. The program aims to expand counter-drone capabilities across the country while supporting enhanced security for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, Paralympics, and Olympic torch relay.

Importantly for agencies considering a mobile solution, the program permits the purchase or modification of vehicles needed for vehicle-mounted C-UAS systems, as well as vehicles and trailers dedicated to transporting and deploying C-UAS equipment.

Note: Federal restrictions still apply to certain detection technologies and all counter-drone mitigation activities. While grant funding may support the purchase of counter-drone technologies, agencies must still comply with applicable federal requirements governing their use.
