This cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order, designated as a total small business set-aside, calls for North Point Defense to analyze the current ARCHER prototype for functionality, production scalability, and sustainability, with an ultimate completion date of May 26, 2028. The work will be performed at the company's primary facility in Rome, New York, positioning this effort as part of AFRL's broader technology development and transition portfolio.
