About this award

The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. (AER), a subsidiary of Verisk Analytics, a $24.68 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract on March 22, 2019, under the Next-Generation Space Environment Technologies (NSET) Basic Award program to conduct applied research supporting space environment characterization and technology development. The contract, with performance extending through December 31, 2025, and executed at AER's Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts facility, encompasses multiple research domains including solar energetic particle monitoring, dataset preparation for design model development, decision aid development, and materials interaction analysis with the space environment. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting AER's competitive status as a large research organization capable of independent performance across multiple scientific and technical domains.

The NSET program represents the Air Force Research Laboratory's initiative to advance space environment technologies through coordinated research addressing spacecraft interactions, particle detection and forecasting, ionospheric perturbations, and sensor development. AER has subcontracted significant portions of this work to specialized research organizations including Leidos Inc., Ideas Engineering & Technology LLC, Boston College, Spectral Sciences Inc., Bluehalo LLC, the University of Colorado, Space Environment Technologies LLC, and Southwest Research Institute, with subcontract awards spanning from 2020 through January 2025. These subcontracts support critical technical efforts in spacecraft plasma interaction modeling, particle detector miniaturization, ionospheric specification and forecasting, and HF ionospheric sounding system development, positioning the overall effort as a comprehensive space environment research and technology development initiative aligned with the Department of Defense's space superiority objectives.
