About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $5.77M cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract to RTX Corporation's Technology Research Center (doing business as Raytheon Technologies Research Center) on February 12, 2024, for the Multiobjective Engineering and Testing of Alloy Structures (METALS) program. The contract, which runs through February 11, 2027, supports advanced research and engineering activities focused on metals and alloy structures development at RTX's Hartford, Connecticut facility. This award reflects no small business set-aside designation, consistent with RTX Corporation's status as a large, established defense contractor with a robust portfolio of DARPA research and development contracts spanning advanced materials, autonomous systems, and innovative engineering solutions.
The METALS program aligns with DARPA's broader mission to advance cutting-edge technologies addressing national security challenges. RTX Corporation's research center division regularly executes complex, high-value research initiatives for the Department of Defense and related agencies, leveraging its expertise in materials engineering, composite development, and advanced technological innovation. The cost-plus-fixed-fee structure provides flexibility typical of DARPA research contracts, allowing for iterative development and testing of alloy structures while maintaining accountability through fixed fee compensation to the contractor.
