About this award

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $27.04 million definitive contract to the University of Washington for the Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency (RACER) Phase II research program on September 29, 2023, under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing with no set-aside.

The originating solicitation sought proposals to develop and demonstrate new autonomy technologies for unmanned ground vehicles, requiring technical approaches and development plans enabling autonomous speeds exceeding 5 meters/second in complex terrain and 10 meters/second in open terrain. Selected contractors must participate in government-hosted field experiments at six-month intervals to assess progress. The contract runs through May 28, 2029.

Place of performance is Seattle, Washington. The University of Washington engaged Overland Ai Inc., a small business specializing in autonomous ground vehicle navigation and perception technologies, as a subcontractor for aggressive, resilient, high-speed navigation in off-road terrain, with multiple subcontract awards issued between December 2023 and January 2026.
