About this award

This is a federal contract award from the U.S. Air Force to DCS Corporation, doing business as Infoscitex Corporation, for "Verification and Validation of Autonomy" work. The $9,999,933 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract does not have a set-aside designation, indicating DCS Corporation's ability to compete successfully in full and open competition.

The contract involves advanced technology research and development in areas such as autonomy, automation, system integration, and simulation-based R&D, particularly for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). DCS Corporation is the prime contractor, with several subcontractors providing specialized technical expertise, including Galois, Inc. for formal verification, Leidos, Inc. for operations support, and Parallax Advanced Research Corporation for AI and autonomous systems research.

This contract appears to be part of the Air Force's broader efforts to advance autonomous capabilities, with the work likely supporting the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) research priorities in areas like multi-domain operations, human-machine teaming, and next-generation autonomous systems.
