Summary

The Department of the Air Force is procuring 350 Teal Black Widow small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) packages to replace its legacy Security Forces fleet. The acquisition is a time‑critical modernization effort because the current Teal 2 drones are no longer supported, and all systems must meet NDAA requirements and be listed on the DIU Blue UAS Cleared List.
