The Air Force is looking for small businesses and startups to pitch ideas for identifying and defeating off-the-shelf drones during an upcoming event.

An Air Force Pitch Day on July 24 will give two selected entrepreneurs and four companies already working with the government the opportunity to showcase their technology that can counter small and swarm drones. The event is being held at Northeastern University’s Innovation Campus in Burlington, MA, and overseen by Hanscom Air Force Base, MA.

Air Force acquisition executive Will Roper and Program Executive Officer for Digital Steven Wert will be in attendance.
