The Department of the Air Force awarded this indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) research contract to Infoscitex Corporation, a subsidiary of DCS Corporation, with a total ceiling value of $168,000,000. The contract, titled "Research of Aerospace Systems Technologies (RAST)," enables the Air Force Research Laboratory and other defense agencies to issue task orders for a wide range of services including modeling, simulation, analysis, engineering, and prototype development across domains such as aerospace systems, autonomous technologies, human-machine interfaces, and multi-domain operations.
Notable task orders under this IDIQ include:
- $4,206,951 for control automation research on verification/validation of automated and autonomous flight systems, and cooperative control of unmanned aerial systems
- $7,500,000 for multi-domain technology simulation-based research and development to assess combinations of technologies for mission areas like air base defense and future attack/close air support
- $15,000,000 for enterprise modeling, simulation, and analysis services supporting the Air Force's broader modeling and simulation requirements
The contract and its task orders do not have any set-aside designations, indicating full and open competition. The work is primarily performed in Beavercreek, Ohio by Infoscitex and its subcontractors, which include various large and small businesses with specialized technical capabilities.
