About this award
This is a $9,856,856.00 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to BAE Systems Information & Electronic Systems Integration Inc. for the ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE REINFORCEMENTS (AIR) program. The contract is a definitive contract without a set-aside designation.
The AIR program seeks to develop dominant tactical autonomy capabilities for multi-ship, beyond visual range air combat missions. This will initially be demonstrated on human-on-the-loop F-16 testbeds before transitioning to uncrewed combat aerial vehicles. The program aims to create an advanced AI-powered air combat capability that can integrate with existing sensors, electronic warfare, and weapons within dynamic, operationally representative environments. Additionally, the contract will establish processes to rapidly design, test, and deliver future iterations of AIR software products.
BAE Systems has a significant federal contract portfolio, frequently collaborating with small businesses, academic institutions, and specialized technology firms as subcontractors. For this AIR contract, BAE Systems has subcontracted with Aimdyn, Inc., a woman-owned small business that provides advanced research, analysis, and forecasting services to the government, primarily in defense and national security applications.
