This $849,958 firm fixed price contract was awarded by the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region to Scientific Applications & Research Associates, Inc. for evaluation of avoidance maneuvers using SARA's Panther Detect and Avoid system. The work directly supports the agency's Broad Agency Announcement 692M15-19-R-00020 Call 005, which seeks proposals to advance unmanned aircraft system integration into the national airspace through 2024. Specifically, the contractor will demonstrate and validate detect and avoid and beyond visual line of sight technologies at readiness levels five through seven, as outlined in the announcement. No set aside designation was specified for this one year contract beginning in August 2021, which is aligned with the FAA's technical priorities to safely integrate unmanned aircraft into the airspace.
