This $2,723,317.12 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract was awarded by the Department of the Air Force to Systems & Technology Research LLC (STR) to develop a novel ocean passive active sonar system using surface scatter (NOPASS). The contract has a period of performance through February 3, 2025 and was not set aside for any small business category.
STR, a technology company specializing in solutions for national security challenges, will serve as the prime contractor. The company holds multiple indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts with agencies like DARPA and the Air Force to rapidly acquire specialized research and development services. As a subcontractor, STR has provided support to major defense primes on modernization programs.
For this effort, STR has subcontracted with Phoenix International Holdings, Inc., a marine services contractor that supports the U.S. Navy through specialized underwater operations and engineering. Phoenix will investigate a novel approach for detecting maritime contacts using deep water passive acoustic arrays.
The contract was awarded under DARPA's Tactical Technology Office (TTO) solicitation, which sought proposals to redefine future warfighting capabilities across air, ground, maritime, and space domains. DARPA anticipated making numerous awards totaling over $50 million through this opportunity.
