About this award

The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $140K purchase order to Intellisense Systems Inc., a Torrance, California-based small business, for development of a Tethered Robot for Coating Application and Inspection (TERCA). The contract, designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside with firm fixed pricing, is scheduled for completion by July 2026. Intellisense Systems brings substantial federal contracting experience to this effort, having received over 200 prime contract awards totaling more than $150M since 2021, with demonstrated expertise in advanced sensing, display, and data analysis technologies across multiple defense agencies including the Air Force, Army, Navy, and specialized commands.

This award reflects the Air Force's ongoing investment in innovative robotic systems for maintenance and inspection applications. Intellisense Systems' established track record includes participation in multiple Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, with recent major contract vehicles including a $58.12M Air Force EXMET Phase III contract for Integrated Weather Observation Systems and a $50M Army Phase III contract for Bradley Digital Vehicle Distribution Box replacement systems. The company's diverse subcontractor relationships with organizations such as Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics, combined with its technical focus on specialized sensing and imaging systems, positions it well to develop the robotic inspection and coating capabilities required under this Air Force Research Laboratory contract.
