In July 2026, Picogrid engaged Harrison Rider LLC to develop the program manager briefing for its newly awarded AFRL "CAP-D" contract. Harrison Rider produced a 24-month integrated master schedule and a standardized Department of War two-year R&D effort summary. The package also delivered;

  • Risk register with key assumptions and government asks

  • Landscape of the current fragmented base-defense

  • Counter-UAS systems fielded today

  • Counter-UAS payload trade study that assessed four effector classes

These established the fielded base-defense platform and a phased execution plan with defined test events, authorities, gates, and transition deliverables, setting out how CAP-D detects, tracks, identifies, decides, and defeats Group 1-3 threats across a full installation perimeter. The result gives AFRL an audit-ready basis for claims and a path toward a program of record.
