The contract has a potential value of $10,812,976.00 and a completion date of September 30, 2021. The contract is not set aside for small businesses.
Under this award, L3 Technologies is conducting research and development to enable small unit tactical operations to persist in electronic warfare conditions by developing an integrated communication system that protects local, airborne, and reachback communications from exploitation and denial. Key subcontractors include Raytheon BBN Technologies Corp. and Lockheed Martin Corporation, who are providing complementary research, engineering, and technical services in areas such as cybersecurity, communications systems, and electronic warfare.
This contract stems from a broad agency announcement (BAA) solicitation issued by DARPA in December 2017 for the Protected Forward Communications program, which aims to develop a qualified system design that reduces the risk of full system integration through a structured engineering approach.
