Systems & Technology Research LLC (STR) was awarded a $35.2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop understanding and decision algorithms, sensors, and a virtual testbed to provide real-time airspace deconfliction and tracking for joint fires and airspace users at the Army Division level. This contract was awarded under the Air Space Total Awareness for Rapid Tactical Execution (ASTARTE) program, with the work to be performed in Woburn, MA over a period of 46 months through October 2024. There is no set-aside designation. Major subcontractors include General Electric Company, First RF Corporation, Cole Engineering Services, Inc., Copious Imaging LLC, and L3Harris Technologies, Inc.
