About this vehicle
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded this Master IDIQ to conduct basic and applied research and advanced development on cyber security vulnerabilities in avionics systems and platforms. The vehicle's last date to order was March 30, 2021, and ordering is now closed; the Master IDIQ is inactive for new task-order placement.
The vehicle was established March 30, 2016, with a shared ceiling of $47.9 million. Six task orders were awarded between March 2016 and June 2018 across three fiscal years, with activity declining to one order in 2018. Combined potential value across all task orders is $95.4 million, exceeding the vehicle ceiling, with $85.2 million already obligated (89% of combined potential value). The most recent award was June 15, 2018, making all work substantially completed as of 2026.
Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. dominates the vehicle, holding four of six task orders totaling $75.4 million in combined potential value. Sicore Technologies Inc. holds the remaining two orders for $20 million combined potential value. All work funds the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/RYWA, Sensors Directorate) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
Delivery orders address embedded system cyber security technologies, including platform cyber hardening and resilience, advanced avionics attestation, avionics software protection, and vulnerability mitigation across legacy and future weapon systems. Attack vectors include physical, remote, and supply chain access. All six task orders are unrestricted, competitive awards under Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing. Order values range from approximately $5.8 million to $30 million in potential value, with ultimate completion dates ending by December 2022. Integration, test, and evaluation occur at AFRL facilities; research may be performed at contractor facilities or AFRL sites.
Description
The Avionics Vulnerability Mitigation branch (AFRL/RYWA) in the Sensors Directorate conducts basic and applied research and advanced development to understand and improve cyber security of U.S. Air Force platforms and weapon systems operating in contested cyber domain. The activity involves understanding the threat to legacy and future weapon systems, discovering, characterizing, and mitigating cyber vulnerabilities and developing protections against cyber-attack to provide fight-through capability.
