Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems PEA Scoping Letter
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to perform research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) of counter unmanned aircraft systems, and conduct operational and training activities to support existing and emerging DHS mission requirements nationwide. DHS is preparing a Programmatic Environmental Assessment to evaluate the potential impacts associated with the Proposed Action pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA; 42 USC §§ 4321 et seq.); DHS Management Directive 023-01, rev. 01 Implementation of the NEPA; and DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, rev. 01, Implementation of the NEPA.

Richmond Counter-UAS Testbed Fact Sheet
To establish organizational processes and identify which C-UAS systems DHS components should purchase, DHS has established multiple testbeds that represent a wide range of operational environments. Richmond, Virginia, was chosen as a testbed due to its dense urban terrain and environment, which can present technological challenges to C-UAS systems. Additionally, existing state and city programs, such as Virginia’s Department of Aviation’s (DOAV’s) work in drone traffic management, make Richmond an ideal DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) testbed location.
