About this award
This is a $2,550,000.00 Cost Plus Fixed Fee federal contract awarded by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to DCS Corporation, doing business as Infoscitex Corp. The contract, titled "FUTURE AUTOMATED SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES FOR REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT", does not have a set-aside designation.
The contract aims to research, design, and develop autonomous control technologies that will enable unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to operate alongside manned aircraft in the terminal area, achieving "Same Base, Same Time, Same Tempo" operations. The work is divided into two phases, with Phase 1 focusing on developing a design for implementation in Phase 2. Key objectives include identifying a multipurpose sensor suite, exploring ways to leverage human operators and existing information sources to supplement autonomy, and recommending an approach that balances human, information, and autonomy to increase robustness, reliability, and safety.
Infoscitex has subcontracted portions of the work to Capability Analysis & Measurement Organization LLC (Camo), PC Krause & Associates Inc., and Calhoun Analytics, LLC. These subcontractors provide expertise in areas such as autonomous systems, power electronics, thermal management, navigation, and sensor integration. The contract is awarded under the Air Force's broad mandate to advance technologies for remotely piloted aircraft and enable seamless integration with manned aviation.
