About this award
Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA), a research and engineering firm headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was awarded a $21.4 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract by Air Education and Training Command on May 6, 2015, for Robotics and Automation Technology for Airbase Systems. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of May 5, 2020, is to be performed in Panama City, Florida, and does not utilize a small business set-aside designation. Under this effort, ARA is developing advanced robotics and unmanned systems capabilities to support airfield damage repair, explosive ordnance disposal, and civil engineer operations. The research, development, test, and evaluation work focuses on four primary objectives: unmanned ground vehicles for unexploded ordnance removal capable of operating on damaged runways at speeds of 10 to 25 miles per hour; automated and robotic technologies for airfield construction and repair at 50 to 75 percent of manned system pace; unmanned systems for explosive ordnance disposal operations; and automated systems for civil engineer functions including firefighting, hazardous incident response, and airfield maintenance.
ARA has subcontracted portions of this work to several specialized vendors, including Parsons Government Services (systems integration and robotic development), Battelle Memorial Institute (explosive ordnance disposal and robotics expertise), RE2 Robotics (high-speed robotic vehicle conceptual design), Athena Construction Group (equipment support), DS2 LLC (software development for geospatial and airfield damage repair planning tools), Wintec Inc. (engineering support), and Federal Contracts LLC (equipment procurement including a Caterpillar wheel excavator). This contract represents the Air Force Civil Engineer Center's effort to develop force multiplier technologies that enable rapid recovery of airfield operations following attack, leveraging advanced automation and robotic systems to support warfighter safety and operational effectiveness in high-risk mission environments.
