Under the United States Marine Corps Unattended Ground Sensor Program, a $5.1M contract was awarded to 4-Star Technologies for McQ Inc.’s RANGER Surveillance Sensors, Fredericksburg, VA-based McQ Inc announced.
McQ’s sensors, including McQ RANGER and McQ Image Processing Nodes, were selected by the USMC following a two-year competitive assessment across multiple vendors. Representative systems from McQ and others were rigorously tested in 2023 and 2024 against their challenging requirements. The USMC assessment concluded that McQ’s family of sensors provides the best detection performance, meets their communications architecture needs, and satisfies their stringent requirements for size, weight, and power (SWaP). Additional selection criteria included system cost, ease of operation, sustainment support, and time to manufacture.
“We’re excited that McQ has been selected by the Marines for their next generation unattended ground sensors,” said Brian McQuiddy, McQ CEO. “Our team is committed to providing innovative solutions for our nation’s warfighters, and we look forward to delivering the very best capability for the Marines. We also wish to thank our partners at 4-Star Technologies for administering the prime contract through NASA SEWP and for their tireless efforts supporting USMC and our team at McQ.”
