About this award
Remotely Piloted Solutions, L.L.C. (RPS Defense), a veteran-owned subsidiary of Mag DS Corp based in Addison, Texas, received a definitive contract award from the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center under the BIG SAFARI program on March 1, 2025. The cost-plus-fixed-fee contract has a ceiling value of $16.0 million and is scheduled for completion by February 28, 2027. BIG SAFARI is a highly classified Air Force program focused on rapid acquisition and development of specialized capabilities, and this award reflects RPS Defense's established role as a key provider of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) platforms, pilot services, sensor operations, and technical support to the defense community. The contract carries no small business set-aside designation, demonstrating RPS Defense's competitive standing in unrestricted federal procurement environments.
RPS Defense has built a substantial track record with the Aeronautical Systems Center through multiple prior awards ranging from approximately $307,000 to $53.4 million, primarily supporting UAS research, development, testing, and evaluation activities. The company strengthens its federal contracting position through access to several significant multiple-award contract vehicles, including the $4 billion SEAPORT-NXG contract with Naval Sea Systems Command, GSA OASIS+ contracts, and the $3.5 billion ASTRO platform-services contract. These vehicles enable RPS Defense to pursue task orders across management, engineering, research and development, and logistics domains for military and civilian agencies, positioning the company as a versatile provider of advanced UAS and aviation capabilities to the federal government.
