Advanced Simulation Technology, Inc.

Advanced Simulation Technology, Inc., doing business as Advanced Simulation Technology Inc., is a Herndon, Virginia-based small business that designs and delivers voice over IP communications systems, simulation technologies, and audio training solutions to the Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor (86% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on defense programs. ASTi competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designation recurring across most of its prime footprint, though scattered small-business set-asides appear in the portfolio.

ASTi's core capability portfolio centers on proprietary software and hardware systems for military training and simulation. The company's principal product lines are Voisus (a modular voice over IP and audio communications solution with speech recognition, text-to-speech, and environmental sound generation), Telestra (an audio system for simulator platforms), and SERA (an automated role-player system using artificial intelligence to fill training roles when human participants are unavailable). Representative prime awards include a $707.9 million firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command in June 2023 for simulation hardware delivery to Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (21 client positions, 7 instructor stations, sonar and communications systems); a $410.8 million firm fixed-price purchase order from Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center in September 2022 for Voisus Communication Radio Interface Software; a $376.2 million Naval Sea Systems Command procurement in November 2021 for 21 Combat Information Center client position units; and a $271.6 million sole-source Naval Sea Systems Command software support subscription for Risk Mitigation Tests and Voisus Clients in April 2025. Current-year work includes a $272.7 thousand ASTI SWM (simulation, weapons, or maintenance-related) purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command awarded March 1, 2026, and a $68.8 thousand Voisus software and information assurance maintenance contract from Air Force Materiel Command for the 705th Combat Training Squadron at Kirtland Air Force Base, awarded February 1, 2026.

Customer concentration skews heavily to the Department of Defense, with the Department of the Air Force commanding 99% of combined potential value across all awards. Within that concentration, the Department of the Air Force holds 27 awards worth $900.3 million in combined potential value (anchored by a $900 million Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's Architecture and Integration Directorate, awarded June 30, 2023, running through November 14, 2027), while the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command carries 61 awards worth $8.8 million and Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center carries 65 awards worth $1.9 million. By award count, the top five customers account for 47% of recent awards, dominated by Naval Air Warfare Center (65 awards), Naval Sea Systems Command (61 awards), and the Army (29 awards); however, the dollar concentration is far steeper — the Air Force IDIQ alone represents more than 97% of all potential value.

ASTi's vehicle position anchors to the $900 million Air Force IDIQ issued in June 2023 under solicitation FA8684-22-R-2006, which enables task orders for engineering, design, development, and synthetic environment capabilities across capability development and planning, systems development, and synthetic environment development. The IDIQ was solicited with intent for 50 to 100 awards; ASTi has received at least one delivery order ($1,000 for capabilities briefing support to AFLCMC/XA, awarded November 15, 2023). Beyond the IDIQ, ASTi maintains positions on the Federal Supply Schedule GS35F0416N (71 task orders, $1.6 million combined potential value), the GSA One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) vehicle (9 task orders), and Navy Basic Ordering Agreements N6134019G0002 and single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts N0001923D0010 and N0042120D0008 (3 task orders each). Placement on these vehicles positions ASTi to field task orders across the federal civilian and defense footprint.

Recent activity has grown from 12 awards in 2022 to a peak of 33 in 2024, with 32 awards in 2025; 7 awards have been granted to date in 2026. Eight awards carrying combined potential value of $805 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure at a modest scale relative to the Air Force IDIQ's dominance. ASTi's subcontractor footprint includes work under Boeing (INCREMENT 3 BLOCK 2 Engineering Manufacturing Development upgrades to the P-8 Aircrew Training Devices and Apache full-rate production; UH-1N replacement helicopter system; F-15 air vehicle development), Rockwell Collins Simulation & Training Solutions (E2D Weapons System Trainer procurement for France Ministry of Armed Forces; HITS-IV contract retrofit and technology refresh; flight simulation manufacturing), Lockheed Martin (F-35 audio systems for multiple roles; Distributive Battle Management Node Phase 1; Telestra communication systems), Science Applications International Corporation (HWIL and M&S development engineering services; Telestra audio system; software and support under GSA OASIS UR Pool 4), CAE USA (Joint Terminal Control Training and Rehearsal System sustainment; AWACS Dragon FCTS software upgrade), and additional subs including American Systems Corporation, American Electronic Warfare Associates, L3Harris Technologies, and J.F. Taylor. The subcontract work mirrors ASTi's prime focus — Voisus and Telestra software licenses, hardware components, maintenance subscriptions, and integration into larger weapon-system trainers and simulation platforms.

ASTi's capability concentration aligns with its product portfolio. Top NAICS codes across the award set are Computer Training (73 awards), Software Publishers (56 awards), Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing (43 awards), Electronic Computer Manufacturing (34 awards), and Computer Systems Design Services (32 awards). Top PSC codes show Information Technology Software (48 awards), Education/Training IT/Telecommunications Training (34 awards), Miscellaneous Communication Equipment (33 awards), Radio and Television Communication Equipment (26 awards), and Communication Training Devices (19 awards). This category spread reflects ASTi's dual footprint as both a software and hardware provider — licensing and maintenance transactions dominate the award count, while larger hardware procurements (the $707.9 million and $410.8 million awards cited above) anchor potential value despite lower frequency.
