The Electromagnetic Command and Control (EMC2) Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the Office of Naval Research, focuses on advanced electromagnetic systems research and development. The contract covers comprehensive efforts in studying, designing, fabricating, integrating, and testing prototypes and subsystems that integrate Radio Frequency (RF) functionalities across Electronic Warfare (EW), Radar, Communications, and Information Operations domains. The vehicle emphasizes developing modular, scalable architectures with open interfaces at RF, electronics, and software/firmware levels, enabling flexible and adaptable electromagnetic capabilities for naval platforms.

The task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate a range of technical development efforts, with values typically between $500 and $8.5 million. Notable prime contractors include Lockheed Martin Corporation and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, who have been awarded significant delivery orders for specific electromagnetic system enhancements. The most substantial task order was a $8,523,853 contract to Northrop Grumman for developing capabilities in the Low Level Resource Allocation Manager, while Lockheed Martin received a $4,159,502 design study contract involving subcontractors like Metamagnetics Inc. and Physical Optics Corporation. The contract vehicle does not utilize small business set-asides, and work is predominantly performed in locations associated with defense contractors, such as Linthicum Heights, Maryland. The Office of Naval Research remains the primary funding agency, with contract performance focusing on advanced electromagnetic technology development.
