The Boeing Company has been awarded multiple indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts by the Department of the Air Force totaling up to $400 million each under the Skyborg Prototyping, Experimentation and Autonomy Development program. The IDIQ contracts aim to advance autonomous systems technologies for unmanned air systems through 2025 by establishing vehicles for prototyping, testing, and evaluating such capabilities.
Boeing has received two delivery orders against this IDIQ. A $25.7 million cost-plus-fixed-fee order tasks Boeing with developing and delivering experimental aircraft in Sacramento, California by December 2022 to further the Air Force's efforts in accelerating autonomy technologies and demonstrating optional manned-unmanned teaming. Additionally, a $4,000 firm-fixed-price order supports a July 2020 kickoff meeting for the program in St. Louis, Missouri. The original Broad Agency Announcement sought proposals for the IDIQ contracts by June 2020 from contractors able to participate in the kickoff meeting and provide various technical reports to the Air Force through 2025 as part of fielding an affordable autonomous mission system through the Skyborg program.
