About this IDV
The Department of the Army awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery contract to Near Earth Autonomy, Inc., a total small business, on April 15, 2025, with a ceiling of $11,499,839.02 and ultimate completion date of April 14, 2028. This is a Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Phase II SBIR contract focused on the Rotorcraft Uncrewed Conversion Kit for Contested Logistics and Sustainment (RUCK) program, supporting development of autonomous flight conversion technologies that enable uncrewed rotorcraft operations in contested and GPS-denied environments.
Work is performed at Near Earth Autonomy's facility in Homewood, Pennsylvania. The solicitation originated from proposal A2-10443, dated October 23, 2024, seeking autonomous conversion technologies for logistics and sustainment operations where conventional crewed aircraft cannot operate effectively.
Two delivery orders have been issued under this IDIQ. The initial delivery order, issued April 16, 2025, carries a ceiling of $999,839.02 with firm fixed pricing and a completion date of October 15, 2025, maintaining the total small business set-aside designation.

This task order was funded by the Program Executive Office Aviation within the Department of Defense. Near Earth Autonomy specializes in autonomous drone navigation, sense-and-avoid systems, and autonomous operations in GPS-denied environments.
