Next generation electronic warfare environment generator (neweg) block a multi jammer characterization (MJC)

Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA), headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was awarded an Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) by the Naval Air Warfare Center on January 8, 2024, with a ceiling value of $6.4 million. This IDV supports the Next Generation Electronic Warfare Environment Generator (NEWEG) Block A Multi Jammer Characterization (MJC) program through a period of performance extension. The award represents a no set-aside contract vehicle that enables the Naval Air Warfare Center to issue task orders to ARA for continued research, development, and technical services related to advanced electronic warfare simulation and characterization capabilities. As a parent contractor, ARA will leverage its extensive experience in modeling and simulation, test and evaluation, and specialized technical consulting to support the Navy's electronic warfare modernization initiatives.

The NEWEG Block A MJC program focuses on developing and enhancing electronic warfare environment generation and multi-jammer characterization capabilities to support naval aviation training, testing, and operational requirements. Under this IDV, ARA will provide comprehensive technical services including advanced modeling and simulation support, systems engineering, research and development, and specialized testing for electronic warfare environments. The contract vehicle structure allows the Naval Air Warfare Center to issue multiple task orders as needed to achieve program objectives while maintaining budget predictability through the established ceiling value. This engagement aligns with ARA's demonstrated capabilities across defense technical domains and complements the company's existing portfolio of significant Department of Defense contracts, including its substantial work with Naval Sea Systems Command on unmanned systems development.
