About this award
The Naval Air Warfare Center awarded an Other Transaction Agreement to Aerovironment, Inc. for the Runway Independent Maritime and Expeditionary Strikes (RIMES) prototype with a ceiling value of $1,995,152, effective May 29, 2026. The agreement sits outside the FAR and was issued under the Defense Innovation Unit's Commercial Solutions Opening solicitation (HQ0845-20-S-C001), which operates as an open-ended, five-year competitive vehicle for prototype development and innovative commercial technologies. Ultimate completion is scheduled for August 28, 2026. Place of performance is Simi Valley, California. The RIMES prototype effort aligns with the DIU CSO's three-phase evaluation process, progressing from solution briefs through pitch presentations to full proposal negotiation, with prototype duration capped at 24 months under OTA authority. The CSO explicitly supports nontraditional and traditional defense contractors and permits prototype awards to transition to follow-on production without further competition. Aerovironment competes across unmanned aerial systems, loitering munition platforms, and associated hardware, training, and logistics support to the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, with no socioeconomic set-aside designation on this award.
