About this IDV

Mynaric USA, Inc. was awarded an Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on December 10, 2021, with a ceiling value of $4.76 million. This IDV supports the Space-Based Adaptive Communications Node (SPACE-BACN) Program, which focuses on developing innovative space-based adaptive communication technologies. The award utilizes no set-asides and establishes a procurement framework enabling DARPA to issue future task orders for continued technological advancement in space-based communication systems. As a foreign-owned entity specializing in advanced communication technologies, optical ground stations, and space-based communication systems, Mynaric USA, Inc. provides technological solutions tailored to U.S. defense and aerospace applications.

The SPACE-BACN Program represents DARPA's strategic effort to enhance military communication infrastructure through adaptive technologies that can operate in space-based environments. Under this IDV, Mynaric will leverage its expertise in optical ground station technologies and adaptive communication systems to develop solutions intended to improve connectivity and communication capabilities for defense applications. The indefinite delivery vehicle structure allows DARPA flexibility in issuing task orders as program requirements evolve, while the $4.76 million ceiling establishes the maximum contract obligation. This procurement aligns with the contractor's demonstrated capabilities in optical ground station early demonstration and production support, as evidenced by concurrent Other Transaction Agreements with the U.S. Air Force valued at approximately $14 million combined.
