This is a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract awarded by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to Mile Two LLC, a small business contractor based in Dayton, Ohio. The contract, valued at $5,994,783.00, is for the Autonomy Capability Team Processing Exploitation and Dissemination (ACTPED) effort, which supports the development and demonstration of autonomy technologies to enable various Air Force mission sets, including multi-domain command and control, intelligence processing and dissemination, and manned-unmanned teaming.
The contract is linked to a larger Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) called the Science and Technology for Autonomous Teammates (STAT) program, which seeks to mature open and reusable autonomy technologies across multiple domains. The ACTPED contract is part of the STAT program's efforts to enhance mission planning, command and control, and reduce workloads through the integration of autonomous systems. As a prime contractor, Mile Two will provide a range of services including software engineering, AI development, and digital transformation support to help the Air Force achieve its goals in these areas.
