About this award
RTX BBN Technologies, Inc. was awarded a $1.03M cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract by the Research Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) for the "QORTICAL" (Quantum Oscillator Reservoirs That Implement Cognition and Learning) research project. This base award, issued on July 31, 2019, with a completion date of July 31, 2025, represents fundamental research in quantum computing and artificial intelligence applications. The work is being performed at the contractor's Cambridge, Massachusetts facility. No set-aside designation was applied to this contract award.
The prime contractor, BBN Technologies (a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies Corporation), engaged The Trustees of Princeton University as a major subcontractor through a November 2022 non-product add-on purchase order, leveraging Princeton's established expertise in quantum computing and advanced research. This contract aligns with RDECOM's focus on emerging technologies and represents part of BBN Technologies' extensive portfolio of defense research and development work, which includes numerous quantum computing initiatives and collaborative academic partnerships. The cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure is typical for the exploratory research contracts that BBN Technologies receives from defense agencies, enabling flexibility in a research environment where outcomes cannot be precisely predetermined.
