Contracted work encompasses research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and threat mitigation across all flight phases of ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, as well as other advanced aerial attacks. The contract vehicle supports both classified and unclassified programs, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Performance under individual task and delivery orders will be executed throughout the 10-year base period and optional ordering periods, with work potentially performed at multiple locations consistent with the distributed nature of national defense operations.
