About this award
RTX BBN Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies specializing in advanced research and engineering, was awarded a $12.4M cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract by the Air Force Research Laboratory on September 28, 2020, for the Learning in Agile Networks with TAK Enabled Robust Nodes (LANTERN) program. This contract, which extends through August 21, 2026, and carries no set-aside designation, originated from an Air Force Research Laboratory Broad Agency Announcement soliciting innovative technologies to digitize operational collaboration for military operations. The program focuses on machine learning instrumentation and data collection, mobile machine learning ecosystem infrastructure, and mobile machine learning algorithms applied to security forces, isolated personnel, and airfield operations. The prime contractor is performing the work from Cambridge, Massachusetts, in collaboration with multiple subcontractors representing academic institutions, defense-focused small businesses, and specialized research organizations.
BBN Technologies engaged four subcontractors to support LANTERN execution: the University of Colorado (engaged April 2024) and Certus Innovations, a veteran-owned small disadvantaged business (engaged April 2023 and November 2024), provide research and specialized services; and Sparx Services North America (engaged January 2021) provides systems modeling and design tool support and training. This contract reflects BBN Technologies' strategic positioning within DARPA and Air Force research portfolios, leveraging the company's established expertise in artificial intelligence, communications technologies, and autonomous systems to advance military operational capabilities through advanced machine learning applications in tactical environments.
