About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $10.6 million definitive contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation for the Air Combat Evolution program on March 6, 2020, under a cost-plus-fixed-fee structure with no set-aside.
The originating solicitation sought proposals to develop autonomous dogfighting capabilities across four technical areas: autonomous dogfighting algorithms using modeling and simulation with demonstrations via small unmanned aerial vehicles and operational aircraft; assessment of pilot trust in autonomous systems; algorithm scaling to broader air combat missions; and implementation onto operational aircraft. The program was designed to advance autonomy from physics-based automation to human-machine collaboration supporting manned-unmanned teaming. The broader program anticipated multiple awards totaling approximately $63.6 million across approximately 50 months, concluding in 2023.
Place of performance is Palmdale, CA. The contract ceiling is $10.6 million with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2024. Work falls under NAICS code 541715.
