Aerovironment, Inc. was awarded a $5.9 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop capabilities for its System of Systems Enhanced Small Units program. The contract aims to deliver adaptive command and control technologies leveraging autonomous unmanned systems for distributed mission planning and innovative sensor and effects payloads. Work will take place over a two-year base period of performance in Simi Valley, California and focus on developing system of systems capabilities enabling a small military unit of approximately 200-300 soldiers to counter anti-access/area denial capabilities through numerous low-cost autonomous unmanned systems. There is no set-aside designation for this award made pursuant to a broad agency announcement seeking proposals to degrade adversarial capabilities through this effort focused on military units operating in contested environments.
