Design Development Demonstration and Integration - Domain 1 (D3I)

The Department of the Army Space and Missile Defense Command established this Master IDIQ on February 9, 2017, with ordering authority closing on January 30, 2026—the vehicle is no longer open for new task orders. The shared ceiling is $379.75 million.

The vehicle is fully spent. Twenty-nine task orders have been awarded across nine prime contractors, with combined potential value of $1.3 billion and $996.2 million obligated (77% of combined potential). The most recent order was placed on July 1, 2024. Activity has been thin but steady, averaging roughly 2 orders per year over the past five years (2020–2024: 2, 1, 2, 2, 2 orders respectively), with no new orders expected after the January 2026 closure.

Scope centers on research, development, demonstration, and integration of space, high-altitude, and missile defense capabilities. Awarded task orders cover high-energy laser tactical vehicle development; tactical range air defense missile (TACRAM) II target design, integration, and test execution; National Advanced Surface-to-Air-Missile System (NASAMS) maintenance and sustainment; extended air defense simulation and foreign military sales support; system utility analysis and combat development (particularly the multi-domain advanced air and missile defense DIAMNDSS portfolio); and mission command information systems training and technical assistance.

Science Applications International Corporation leads by potential value at $614.6 million across six orders, followed by Teledyne Brown Engineering at $277.5 million on seven orders, and Dynetics at $235.4 million on four orders. These three firms account for most of the vehicle's value. Raytheon Company and QWK Integrated Solutions complete the top five. Concentration is moderate: the top three primes hold roughly 70% of combined potential value, while the remaining four primes share the balance.

Funding is nearly entirely from the Army Space and Missile Defense Command itself (28 orders, $1.3 billion combined potential value), with a single $35,000 order from the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal. All 29 task orders carry no set-aside designation. Pricing is cost-plus-fixed-fee across all orders. Representative task-order ceilings range from $35,000 (minimum obligation tasks at vehicle inception) to $280.97 million (system utility analysis and combat development); mid-range orders typically carry ceilings between $32 million and $115 million with ultimate completion dates stretching 3 to 5 years.

U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command's (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) D3I program will be utilized to conduct research for the development of hardware components and software solutions for Space, high altitude, missile defense (Domain 1), Information Integration and Data Exploitation (Domain 2), and Enhanced Warfighter Capabilities (Domain 3). The D3I Domain 1 IDIQ contracts will provide enhanced the USASMDC/ARSTRAT mission by contractually supporting the Command's efforts to design, develop, demonstrate and integrate products focused on the development of space, high altitude, and missile defense capabilities that enable the Warfighter to effectively support U.S. Strategic Command, other Combatant Commands, Department of Defense, other Services, and other Government agencies.
