Fortem Technologies has been admitted to the United States Army’s new Global Tactical Edge Acquisition Directorate (G-TEAD) Marketplace, a new contracting framework designed to expedite systems to operational users.
The G-TEAD designation could dramatically shorten procurement timelines for Fortem’s counter-uncrewed aircraft system (C-UAS) technology. Under Fortem’s agreement with G-TEAD, Army organisations and other US government agencies with contracting and ordering authority can now rapidly acquire Fortem products through the Marketplace without additional competition. Certain NATO and allied agencies may also place orders under applicable laws and security agreements.
Fortem’s admission to the Marketplace reflects the Army’s assessment that the company’s autonomous C-UAS systems have been evaluated by the Army and have met the standards required for rapid scaling.
Fortem will work closely with Army Contracting Command, capability leads, and operational units as the G-TEAD framework expands.
