About this award
The Federal Aviation Administration issued a delivery order to LS Technologies LLC on June 15, 2023, with a ceiling value of $7.417 million under the SETIS single-award IDIQ for the Low-Density UAS-Operation Communication Evaluation (LUCE) program, with ultimate completion on June 20, 2028.
LUCE centers on simulation, modeling analysis, and live flight evaluations of communications requirements for remotely piloted vehicles operating in the National Airspace System, with specific focus on the current direct pilot-controller latency requirement of 250–300 milliseconds. The work encompasses documentation, engineering, data analysis, and demonstration support for beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) flight operations; development of use cases and service exchange architectures; live flight evaluations of operational implications; and identification of performance standards and security requirements associated with communications. The order is priced on a time-and-materials basis.
Place of performance is Washington, DC 20591. LS Technologies engaged three subcontractors on LUCE: Kaia Inc., a Native American-owned 8(a)-certified small business; Creative WX Solutions LLC, a small disadvantaged business; and GXA Consulting LLC and MZI Aviation, LLC for systems engineering and operational evaluation support.
In FY2024, the order invoiced $606 thousand across 1.7 FTEs and 3,586 contractor hours at a blended government-paid rate of $169.14 per hour, with 11 percent of contractor hours subcontracted.
