About this award
Joby Aero Inc., a Santa Cruz-based developer of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and autonomous flight systems, has received a $480.8K delivery order from the Air Force Research Laboratory for autonomous logistics and cargo development. This award, issued on May 10, 2024, with completion targeted for November 10, 2024, is structured as a firm-fixed-price delivery order under the company's $5M Small Business Innovation Research Phase III Indefinite Delivery Contract established in March 2024. The work will be performed in Concord, California. This delivery order does not carry a set-aside designation and represents one of four delivery orders issued to date against the parent IDV, which is designed to support advanced autonomous flight capabilities and resilient autonomy research.
The autonomous logistics and cargo development effort aligns with the Air Force Research Laboratory's broader initiatives in advanced air mobility and next-generation aviation platforms. Joby Aero has been designated a strategic innovation partner to the Department of Defense, with substantial federal funding totaling over $2.25B across multiple contract vehicles, including a landmark $2.21B Other Transaction Agreement for eVTOL flight test research and digital engineering work. This delivery order leverages the company's demonstrated technical expertise in autonomous flight systems, detect-and-avoid capabilities, and cargo operations development that have been funded under previous AFRL contract vehicles.
