About this IDV
This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) aims to support research and development efforts related to swarm technology and battlespace awareness capabilities. The prime contractor, Aurora Flight Sciences Corporation, a subsidiary of The Boeing Company, will provide these services under a cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order valued at $541,487. The work, to be performed in Manassas, Virginia through December 2023, will leverage Aurora Flight Sciences' expertise in autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and advanced aerospace technologies to inform the Air Force's efforts in emerging battlefield applications like swarming and distributed sensing. This IDC was awarded as a single-award contract without any set-asides, utilizing the SeaPort-e multiple-award IDIQ vehicle that provides professional support services to the Department of the Navy. The overarching $5 million IDC provides a flexible contracting mechanism for the AFRL to acquire specialized research and development in the area of swarm munitions, building upon Aurora Flight Sciences' broader portfolio of federal contract and grant work in autonomous systems and aerospace innovation.
