About this award
Otto Aviation Group, LLC has been awarded a $1.9 million firm fixed-price contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for conceptual and preliminary design work related to an Expendable Winged Aircraft (EWA). This Small Business set-aside contract, designated as a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I award, was executed on November 16, 2023, with an expected completion date of December 31, 2025. The work will be performed in Crane, Indiana, and is funded through the Operational Energy Capability Improvement Fund, which supports research and development initiatives aimed at enhancing the Department of Defense's operational energy efficiency and capability.
The EWA initiative represents DARPA's effort to develop innovative aerial delivery and operational capabilities. As a Phase I STTR research contract, Otto Aviation will conduct the foundational design and engineering analysis necessary to validate the technical feasibility of the proposed concept before potential advancement to subsequent development phases. The firm fixed-price structure establishes a defined cost baseline for the conceptual and preliminary design tasks, enabling clear financial accountability and reducing schedule risk during this critical early design phase.
