The PS-ISR Concept Development Program (PS-ISR CDP) is a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded by the Army Research Laboratory to support advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) technology development. The contract provides comprehensive technology support encompassing analysis, studies, development, design, and demonstration of innovative ISR concepts targeted at future asymmetric, counter-terrorism, and counter-insurgency warfare scenarios. Task orders under this vehicle focus on cutting-edge research and development services in emerging defense technology domains, with a particular emphasis on concept exploration and technical demonstration.

The task orders typically range in value from $2,500 to approximately $9.3 million, with durations spanning base years plus multiple option years. Prime contractors frequently include technology and consulting firms such as Calnet Inc., Booz Allen Hamilton, Polaris Alpha Advanced Systems (a Parsons Corporation division), and Imperatis Corp. The task orders cover diverse technical areas including high energy laser weapon systems, technology integration services, distributed ground system integration, and analyst concept assessment. All task orders are competitively awarded without specific set-aside designations, and primary performance locations include Maryland (particularly Adelphi) and Virginia (such as McLean). The contract consistently uses a Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing mechanism, indicating the government's willingness to support complex, potentially high-risk technological research and development initiatives.
