About this IDV
The Advanced Aerospace Systems Technology Research (AASTR) contract is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity vehicle issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory with a total ceiling value of $400 million spanning from April 4, 2023, through April 4, 2028. General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), headquartered in Poway, California, serves as the prime contractor under this vehicle. The contract encompasses research, development, demonstration, integration, and transition of advanced aerospace vehicle technologies and systems, with focus areas including aerospace vehicles, control sciences, high-speed systems, turbine engines, and systems integration. Work is performed at GA-ASI's facility in Poway, California, with no set-aside designation applied. The contract leverages GA-ASI's core competencies in unmanned aerial systems, ground control stations, sensors, and advanced aerospace technology development to support the Air Force's strategic modernization objectives.
To date, two delivery orders have been issued against the AASTR vehicle. The initial delivery order, awarded April 4, 2023, valued at approximately $106,000, addressed innovative technologies to enable complexity, unpredictability, and mass to overwhelm adversaries, with completion targeted for January 4, 2024, under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing. A subsequent delivery order, the Demonstration of Advanced Capabilities Performance and Effectiveness (DEMON APE), was awarded January 31, 2025, valued at $36.6 million on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis, scheduled for completion April 28, 2029. This larger effort supports demonstration and performance evaluation activities for advanced aerospace capabilities. These task orders reflect the Air Force's flexible utilization of the AASTR vehicle to procure a range of research and development services from conceptual studies through operational demonstrations across GA-ASI's unmanned systems portfolio.
