About this IDV
Modalai, Inc., a San Diego-based small business specializing in autonomous systems and computer vision technologies, was awarded an Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) on July 1, 2020, by the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command with a ceiling value of $11.24 million. This IDV supports the Defense Innovation Unit's Blue Unmanned Aerial System Version 2.0 initiative and was funded through a Defense Production Act Title III (DPA3) COVID-19 Defense Industrial Base program. Under this vehicle, Modalai will deliver on-call technical support, hardware and software solutions, and technology development services related to advanced unmanned aerial systems. The contract employs no set-aside restrictions and establishes an indefinite delivery mechanism enabling the issuance of task orders over a multi-year period to support ongoing development and enhancement of Blue UAS capabilities.
The Blue UAS V2.0 program represents a critical Department of Defense initiative to evaluate and advance small unmanned aircraft systems for military applications. Modalai's technical expertise in autonomous flight control, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and modal AI services positions the company to provide sophisticated software integration, computer vision enhancements, and analytical support required for the program's objectives. Task orders issued under this IDV may encompass prototype development, system integration, technical analysis, and operational support services necessary to advance the Blue UAS platform. The DPA3 funding designation reflects the government's prioritization of this capability during the COVID-19 pandemic period, underscoring the strategic importance of maintaining domestic industrial base capacity for advanced unmanned aerial system development within the federal defense innovation ecosystem.
