About this award
Leidos, Inc. was awarded a definitive contract valued at $5.45 million by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on November 20, 2024, to support the Expeditionary Carbon Utilization for Energy Resilience and Stabilization (EXCURSION) program. The contract, which will be performed in San Diego, California, and completed by August 19, 2027, utilizes a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with no small business set-aside designation. Under this award, Leidos will develop foundational technologies enabling carbon dioxide reduction, capture, and storage as components of a self-enclosed system capable of producing liquid carbon fuels to store and deploy energy in expeditionary settings independent of external fuel supply lines. Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been engaged as a subcontractor to provide goods and services in support of the contract statement of work through November 2026.
The EXCURSION program represents DARPA's effort to advance novel scientific approaches and systems that address energy resilience challenges in field operations. This research and development initiative seeks to move beyond incremental improvements to current practices and develop transformative technologies for expeditionary energy independence. Leidos, through its Solutions Operating Segment division (operating as SAIC), brings substantial expertise in advanced research, systems integration, and technology development across defense and intelligence sectors, supported by its parent company Leidos Holdings, Inc. The engagement of MIT as a key subcontractor further strengthens the technical capabilities for this fundamental research effort, leveraging the institution's recognized strengths in emerging technologies and scientific innovation.
