Lieutenant Commander Jeff Sullens, deputy programme manager for SUAS for NSC, told\u00a0<em>Jane\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0on 3 January 2019 that the coastguard informed bidders of its selection, but that he could not confirm the winner. He added that a formal contract has not been awarded and that he could not provide contract details owing to the federal government shutdown impacting the USCG.<\/p>\n<p>Lt Cdr Sullens said he was not aware of any protests for this SUAS for NSC corrective action. Expected bidder Textron Systems declined to comment on 3 January as to whether it bid for the programme or planned to protest. The company has a similar SUAS capability called Aerosonde. Arcturus UAV, also a potential bidder, said on 3 January that no one was available to answer questions.<\/p>\n<p>The USCG in June awarded Insitu, a division of Boeing, a contract potentially worth USD117 million for SUAS for NSC, which covers installation and deployment of the vehicle for roughly 200 hours per 30-day operational patrol period. Under this award, ScanEagle was to provide intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) services for the entire NSC fleet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.janes.com\/article\/85524\/us-coast-guard-awards-insitu-suas-for-national-security-cutter-corrective-action\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.janes.com\/article\/85524\/us-coast-guard-awards-insitu-suas-for-national-security-cutter-corrective-action\" data-cke-saved- target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Insitu said it was notified that it won the corrective action from the US Coast Guard&#8217;s Small Unmanned Aerial System (SUAS) for National Security Cutter (NSC) programme.
