About this award

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) was awarded a $2.47 million Cost Plus Fixed Fee definitive contract on March 4, 2024, to support the Creating Human Agents for Simulation Environments (CHASE) research and development effort focused on imitation learning concepts. This contract, funded by the Army Materiel Command's Test Resource Management Center through the Simulation, Training and Instrumentation office, aims to develop realistic and probabilistic human-like agents for testing and evaluating autonomous systems. The award is being performed in Laurel, Maryland, with an ultimate completion date of September 3, 2026. This modification to the original contract adds the inadvertently omitted period of performance for Contract Line Item 1002.

The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation and stems from Broad Agency Announcement W900KK-22-R-0012, which solicits advanced test and evaluation technologies across multiple technology areas including Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence Test. APL's selection reflects its established role as a premier federally funded research and development center with extensive capabilities in modeling, simulation, systems engineering, and prototype development supporting Department of Defense objectives. The organization maintains a substantial portfolio of defense-related contracts and IDIQs exceeding $4.95 billion in collective ceiling value, positioning it as a critical technical partner for national security research initiatives.
