About this award
The U.S. Air Force awarded an Other Transaction Agreement to University Of Alaska Fairbanks on February 7, 2024, with a ceiling value of $5,825,000.00 for a consortium effort developing open-source software packages supporting Advanced Research in Nuclear Explosion Monitoring (MTUQ, SPECFEM3D, and SPECFEM3D_GLOBE), with an ultimate completion date of May 7, 2029. This OTA sits outside the FAR and represents coordinated efforts in source characterization, data assimilation, computational seismology, software code coupling, and training across a multi-institution research team.
Performance takes place in Fairbanks, Alaska. The consortium includes The University Of Toronto (subcontractor award date January 15, 2026), Leidos, Inc. (award date June 5, 2024) for explosion calculations supporting TREMOR development, University Of South Florida (award date May 28, 2024), and Australian National University (award date May 28, 2024). University Of Alaska Fairbanks, a 1862 Land Grant institution, anchors the consortium's effort in seismic monitoring and geophysical research, drawing on its established capabilities in Arctic geophysics, the Alaska Earthquake Center, and the Alaska Geophysical Network serving Advanced National Seismic System standards. The subcontractor team spans academic and systems engineering expertise: Toronto brings computational seismology and software development capabilities; Leidos provides systems integration and advanced research in explosion characterization; University Of South Florida contributes oceanographic and environmental science analysis; and Australian National University contributes international quantum physics and materials research capabilities aligned with nuclear monitoring science.
