The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded an $8.15 million definitive contract to L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems L.P. for advanced exploitation of electronic intelligence signals on June 15, 2023, under a cost-plus-fixed-fee structure with no set-aside.
The contract supports the AXES II program, which aims to improve detection, collection, characterization, and reporting of emerging ELINT emitters for manned and unmanned platform applications. Place of performance is Greenville, TX. The ultimate completion date is August 15, 2028.
The originating solicitation was a Broad Agency Announcement issued by AFRL in August 2020 for electronic intelligence information exploitation research. The BAA sought advanced technologies for automated real-time signal detection, processing, exploitation, and reporting of ELINT signals to support ISR platforms, with individual awards anticipated between $500,000 and $12 million over up to 48 months.
