Work areas include research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization. Orders may be issued at classified and unclassified levels across multiple security domains and NAICS codes, and the vehicle lets MDA and other DoD entities issue orders under one contract mechanism.
