About this IDV
The Office of the Secretary of Defense awarded Vantage Robotics, Inc. a $4.2 million other transaction indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicle to develop soldier robotic controller technology. The IDV, awarded on July 30, 2021 without a set-aside designation, aims to procure research and development of robotic controllers to enable soldiers to safely and effectively operate autonomous systems. Specifically, the statement of work calls for Vantage Robotics to design, test, and deliver prototypes for next-generation human-robot interface technologies that integrate wearable controls, augmented reality interfaces, and autonomous functionality to expand what robotic systems soldiers can operate in the field. By streamlining soldier control of robotic platforms through advanced control schemes, the IDV supports the Department of Defense's efforts to incorporate autonomous systems into military operations in a manner that enhances safety and mission effectiveness for dismounted troops.
The IDV structure allows the Office of the Secretary of Defense to issue firm-fixed-price or cost-reimbursement task orders against the contract over the coming years, providing a flexible means of funding further R&D work and prototyping as the technology matures. As the prime contractor, Vantage Robotics will perform work at its facilities in California and Massachusetts with a focus on the engineering and testing of prototype controllers. The contract is set for a five-year period of performance beginning in July 2021, during which time the agency can place both development and production task orders up to the $4.2 million ceiling amount.
