Defense Community Infrastructure Pilot Program (DCIP) is sponsored by Department of Defense (Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation). This program provides grants to state and local governments to address deficiencies in community infrastructure supportive of a military installation.
Projects can include transportation, community support facilities (e.g., hospitals, police, fire, and emergency response), and utility infrastructure projects (e.g., water, waste-water, telecommunications, electric, gas, etc.). While not directly for C-UAS, it could support critical infrastructure resilience relevant to UAS threats.
