About this award
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) was awarded a $2.09M delivery order contract by Naval Sea Systems Command for the USMC AI Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) program. Issued on September 29, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of September 28, 2025, this cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order will be performed at APL's facility in Laurel, Maryland. The contract carries no set-aside designation, indicating it was awarded through open competition based on technical merit. This delivery order likely supports advanced artificial intelligence and sensor integration capabilities to enhance the Marine Corps' maritime operational awareness and decision-making across naval operations.
APL, a not-for-profit research center affiliated with Johns Hopkins University, is well-positioned for this work given its extensive experience delivering complex technical services to the Department of Defense, including multiple cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts with Naval Sea Systems Command and other defense agencies. The laboratory's core competencies in systems engineering, combat system development, and advanced research—demonstrated through numerous IDIQ contracts including a $3B vehicle with the Missile Defense Agency—align directly with the technical demands of maritime domain awareness and AI integration for naval applications. The MDA program supports critical operational capabilities for Marine Corps maritime operations and represents the continued investment by Naval Sea Systems Command in modernizing naval systems architecture and intelligence integration.
