The Test and Evaluation Technologies for Ranges, Armaments and Spectrum (TETRAS) II contract provides the 96th Range Group and their customers with engineering and technical capabilities to develop, modify, and sustain test and evaluation systems and facilities. The vehicle supports the Air Force's urgent requirements to test fifth-generation weapons and cyber systems while validating emerging sixth-generation technologies.

Delivery orders under the contract utilize various pricing mechanisms including firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee, cost-plus-award-fee, and cost-plus-incentive-fee arrangements.

Under the TETRAS II vehicle, Cummings Aerospace has received task orders for specialized test and evaluation services at locations including Eglin Air Force Base, Florida and Huntsville, Alabama. The most significant delivery order to date is a $6.84 million cost-plus-fixed-fee task order awarded in September 2024 for the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM) program, with performance extending through September 2029. This delivery order demonstrates the contract's application to advanced weapons development, with Cummings Aerospace serving as prime contractor providing hypersonic technology development and program support. Additional task orders have been issued for general test and evaluation technologies and spectrum support services, reflecting the vehicle's broad scope to address multiple weapons system testing requirements across Air Force Range operations and modernization initiatives.
