Advanced Research And Technology Corporation

Advanced Research and Technology Corporation, doing business as Advanced Research & Technology Corp, is a veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Oxnard, California that provides threat validation and simulation engineering services to the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor (91% of recent awards) and occasionally as a subcontractor on larger defense programs.

The company's customer footprint is concentrated entirely within the Department of the Navy. Forty-one awards across 41 task orders and one $6.59 million indefinite delivery vehicle are placed with Naval Air Warfare Center (NAVAIR), generating $17.2 million in combined potential value. Four awards worth $3.96 billion in combined potential value are placed with Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), representing a dramatic concentration spike—the source identifies these as IDCs (Indefinite Delivery Contracts) N6893618D0027 and N6893620D0005, totaling fifteen and four task orders respectively. That multi-billion-dollar potential value reflects the ceiling structure of large Navy vehicles rather than active obligation; only $6.3 million has been obligated across all 45 awards to date.

Advanced Research & Technology Corp's core capability is threat representation validation and simulation engineering for naval aviation platforms and unmanned aircraft systems. Representative NAVAIR work includes a $444 thousand delivery order for Short-Range Threat Simulator (SHORTS) threat representation validation reports (September 2024), a $400 thousand delivery order for Navy Threat/Target Simulation Validation (SIMVAL) program studies (September 2025), a $377 thousand delivery order for Uber Low-Risk Tactical Systems (LRTS) threat representation validation (August 2023), and multiple smaller orders for digital radio frequency memory validation, radar signal emulator validation, advanced anti-air threat simulator updates, and Next Generation Electronic Warfare Generator support. The company holds a single-award IDV with NAVAIR valued at $6.59 million (awarded May 16, 2023, extending through May 15, 2028) under which it has delivered sixteen task orders worth approximately $2.82 million to date. Most NAVAIR task orders are structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders, with roughly half designated under Total Small Business set-asides and half carrying no set-aside.

Activity has been uneven. The source captures two awards in 2022, six in 2023, eight in 2024, five in 2025, and two in 2026 year-to-date. Nine awards worth $1.5 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete. The vendor operates predominantly as a prime contractor (91% of awards by count), building its own delivery teams rather than relying heavily on subcontractors. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows minimal sub-engagement: the company appears in SCI records only as a named subcontractor to New Directions Technologies, Inc. on four task orders spanning FY2022–FY2024, with a trajectory of 0.2 FTEs in FY2022 rising to 1.5 FTEs in FY2024. This SCI footprint is a narrow slice of federal services activity and does not reflect the company's primary NAVAIR prime work, which dominates the award portfolio.
