About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an Other Transaction IDV to Systems & Technology Research LLC (STR) on July 10, 2025, with a ceiling of $24.5 million to support two prototype and rapid-response efforts: LINK ENCRYPTION LAYERS TO AVOID NOTICE WITH TUNNEL OBFUSCATION (LELANTOS) and RAPID RESILIENCE RESPONSES (R3). The Other Transaction authority sits outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation and enables rapid prototyping and exploratory development.

STR specializes in advanced research, engineering, and software development for national security applications, with particular depth in artificial intelligence, wireless communications, electronic warfare, autonomy, machine learning, sensor processing, and cybersecurity across air, ground, maritime, space, and cyber domains. The company operates as a prime contractor on research-intensive DARPA initiatives and maintains selective subcontractor relationships with specialized technical providers including Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Parsons Government Services, and American Electronic Warfare Associates for hardware, radar systems engineering, and electronic warfare development.

STR holds a dense portfolio of DARPA Other Transaction vehicles, including SCORPIONFISH ($12.5 million ceiling), ALBATROSS ($11 million ceiling), and multiple vehicles ranging from $2 million to $10 million, positioning the company as a frequent performer on DARPA's rapid R&D procurement track. The company competes across full-and-open defense research procurements without set-aside restrictions.
