About this award
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded a delivery order contract valued at $10.2 million to the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) on December 17, 2024, for research and development support related to autonomous multi-agent systems in uncertain environments. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, reflects NAVSEA's selection based on JPL's technical merit and specialized capabilities in advanced autonomous systems research. Work will be performed in Pasadena, California, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2028. The contract employs a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure typical of research and development efforts where precise scope definition is challenging at the outset.
This delivery order leverages JPL's extensive experience as a federally funded research and development center under Caltech's management, where the laboratory has demonstrated significant expertise across autonomous systems, advanced sensor technologies, and complex engineering challenges. The focus on autonomous multi-agent systems aligns with NAVSEA's modernization priorities for naval operations in contested and uncertain environments, where distributed autonomous systems are increasingly critical to operational capabilities. As a child entity of Caltech, JPL brings decades of experience managing technically complex, government-sponsored research programs and collaborating with other leading research institutions to advance cutting-edge technologies applicable to defense and national security objectives.
