Work areas encompass research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts to provide continuous, layered protection against air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. The contract vehicle is designed to support both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System codes, with resultant work potentially requiring appropriate facility clearances for classified performance, positioning the SHIELD IDIQ as a comprehensive contracting solution for the nation's multi-layered defense requirements.
