About this IDV
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery contract to DCS Corporation on May 14, 2021, for Aerospace Systems Technology Research and Assessment (ASTRA) Multi-Domain Modeling, Simulation and Analysis (MDMSA) with a ceiling of $243.05 million and ultimate completion date of May 14, 2026.
Place of performance is Franconia, Virginia. The contract supports multi-domain modeling and simulation research and assessment across air, land, sea, space, cyber, and electromagnetic domains, including constructive and virtual simulation, model-based systems engineering, threat system modeling, and multi-domain capability assessments addressing air base defense, close air support, counter-air operations, and suppression of enemy air defenses.
The originating solicitation, published as a Special Notice in January 2020, proposed splitting AFRL's prior single-award IDIQ into two separate single-award contracts—one for Aerospace Technology Development and Testing and one for Multi-Domain Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis—sharing a single cost ceiling and requiring an Associate Contractor Agreement between awardees due to research interrelation.
Task orders issued under this IDIQ include the MDMSA II task order (September 23, 2025, ceiling $24.84 million, completion July 14, 2028) supporting development and enhancement of the FALCON tool and its integration to analyze advanced technology concepts, with Radiance Technologies Inc., an employee-owned small business, named as subcontractor. The AFRL Corporate Convergence of Effects Mobility Utility delivery order (April 25, 2023, ceiling $49.12 million, completion May 3, 2027) supports systems architecture development for ABAD BMC3 using modeling and simulation. The initial Multi-Domain Technology Simulation Based Systems Engineering delivery order (May 14, 2021, ceiling $24.28 million, completion May 12, 2028) encompasses CRONUS data architecture development, MBSE model integration with AFSIM and MDAO tools, and multi-domain capability assessments. The Advanced High Speed Operations Analysis & Research (AHSOAR) and MDMSA delivery order (May 14, 2021, ceiling $9.78 million, completion May 12, 2028) provides modeling, simulation, and analysis support for high-speed weapons investigation and system-of-systems capability studies.
