Trust Automation, Inc. has been awarded a USD 490 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract from the United States Air Force for the rapid research, development, prototyping, demonstration, evaluation, production and transition of unmanned and counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) capabilities.
Work will be performed at Trust’s facility in San Luis Obispo, California, and is expected to be completed by August 20, 2030.
The company produces the Small-Unmanned Air Defense System (SUADS), which is designed to deliver fixed-site and rapidly deployable protection for key facilities and units in combat zones. These systems provide layered defence with adaptable modular solutions to detect, track and defeat Group 1, 2 and 2+ aircraft threats. Trust has also developed the weapons-mountable GAT UAS Jammer, which enables personnel to directly counter UAS activity in GNSS bands.
