About this IDV
The Research of Aerospace Systems Technologies (RAST) Indefinite Delivery Contract, valued at $168 million with a performance period extending through December 12, 2019, was awarded as a single-award vehicle to DCS Corporation by the Air Force Research Laboratory. DCS Corporation, headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, is a professional services firm specializing in advanced technology and management solutions for defense and national security sectors. Under this IDV, DCS Corporation (operating through its subsidiary Infoscitex Corporation) provides a broad spectrum of research, development, and analytical services supporting the Air Force Research Laboratory's aerospace systems technology initiatives. The contract encompasses multiple technical domains including autonomy, modeling and simulation, human-machine teaming, flight control systems, and advanced aerospace vehicle technologies, all executed on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis with no small business set-aside designation.
The RAST IDV generated 20 documented delivery orders totaling approximately $161 million, with work primarily performed at Beavercreek Township, Ohio and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Task order scope includes high-speed technology assessment and research, enterprise modeling and simulation capabilities, human-autonomy teaming interface development, mobility and logistics research, autonomous systems verification and validation, airdrop simulation-based research and development, enhanced global mobility technologies, cooperative intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance development, future air dominance technology research, and systems integration for contested environment operations. Key subcontractors supporting these efforts include Leidos, Dynetics, Georgia Tech Research Corporation, Booz Allen Hamilton, Parallax Advanced Research Corporation, and numerous smaller specialty firms providing expertise in simulation, autonomy algorithms, formal verification, and advanced analytics. The delivery orders reflect the Air Force Research Laboratory's investment in spiral development methodologies combining design, simulation, and flight testing to mature emerging aerospace capabilities across multiple technology domains critical to future air operations.
