About this award
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) was awarded a $6.41M delivery order by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) on February 14, 2018, for the development of future Airborne Collision Avoidance System X (ACAS X) for manned and unmanned aircraft. This cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, with performance in Laurel, Maryland, represents APL's contribution to modernizing collision avoidance capabilities across heterogeneous aircraft operations. The contract was executed without a set-aside designation, reflecting open competition based on APL's specialized technical expertise in advanced systems development and engineering services. The contract ultimately completed on February 13, 2020.
APL, a not-for-profit university-affiliated research center and subsidiary of Johns Hopkins University, is well-positioned to execute this work given its extensive portfolio of defense technology contracts and deep expertise in systems engineering for naval and aerial platforms. NAVSEA's investment in ACAS X development addresses a critical operational requirement as aviation safety standards increasingly must accommodate both traditional crewed aircraft and emerging unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations within shared airspace. APL's involvement in this modernization effort aligns with the laboratory's demonstrated capabilities in complex combat system development, electromagnetic spectrum technologies, and research and development services supporting multiple Department of Defense agencies.
