About this award
The University of New Mexico was awarded a $5.5 million definitive cost-plus-no-fee contract by the Air Force Research Laboratory on September 15, 2020, to develop the COSMIAC Machine Learning Toolset, a system designed to accelerate response times to adversary satellite navigation countermeasures. This research initiative, performed through UNM's Office of Sponsored Projects in Albuquerque, is scheduled for completion by March 16, 2026, and addresses critical national security priorities related to protecting Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) capabilities from hostile interference and spoofing threats. The contract is not designated for any small business set-aside, reflecting the specialized research capabilities required to support AFRL's advanced technology development mission in space and navigation systems.
The prime contract leverages expertise from multiple subcontractors, including Acme Solutions LLC, a small disadvantaged business specializing in directed energy and wireless communications technologies, which provides laser communications integration support and proof-of-concept development; Virginia Tech, which contributes advanced Kalman filter development and GNSS situational awareness algorithms; and Canyon Consulting LLC, a woman-owned small business with extensive experience in GPS and navigation systems engineering that delivers systems engineering analysis and technical topic investigation. UNM, as a Hispanic-Serving Institution and major federal research entity, brings institutional research infrastructure and multidisciplinary expertise to coordinate the toolset development across machine learning, software engineering, and space technology domains in support of Air Force space superiority objectives.
