Ai Signal Research Inc.

Ai Signal Research Inc., doing business as Asri, is an Asian-Pacific American-owned small business headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, that delivers engineering, programmatic, and technical services to federal aerospace, defense, and space agencies as a prime contractor on 86% of recent awards and as a subcontractor to larger primes on the remainder. The firm operates as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with two subsidiaries—Joint Technical Solutions, LLC and Strategic Test Solutions, LLC—and competes predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-asides, though it holds a Total Small Business seat on the OASIS+ vehicle.

Asri's recent capability portfolio centers on test and evaluation engineering, range support, propulsion and vehicle modeling, systems integration, and specialized analytical services for aerospace and defense platforms. The firm is the incumbent sole-source supplier of PC Signal software licenses to NASA, with annual renewals ranging from $209,000 to $247,500 through its relationship with NASA's Shared Services Center; representative prime work includes a $54.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command for Potomac River Test Range support under the Seaport-NXG IDIQ (May 2022, running through May 2027), a $999 million Air Force Materiel Command TETRAS II indefinite-delivery contract awarded June 2023 supporting test and evaluation systems development at Eglin Air Force Base, and a $149,497 engineering support contract with NASA for propulsion model enhancements to the Space Launch System. Most recently, Asri received a $151 billion multiple-award SHIELD indefinite-delivery contract from the Missile Defense Agency (December 2025) for multi-domain defense research, systems engineering, test and evaluation, and modernization spanning classified and unclassified work.

Customer concentration is driven by defense and space agencies. The top five funding customers by potential value account for 98% of combined award value and are anchored by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command ($10.12 billion, four awards—predominantly the Seaport-NXG delivery order), the Air Force Materiel Command ($999 million, two awards including TETRAS II), the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command ($694.3 million, sixteen awards), the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command ($242 million, ten awards), and the GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($75.6 million, seven awards). By award count, NASA dominates with 52 awards but at lower individual ceiling values ($61.6 million combined potential); the divergence reflects a concentration of smaller sole-source PC Signal license renewals at NASA's Shared Services Center balanced against fewer but far larger delivery orders under defense IDIQs.

Asri holds positions on four major parent vehicles: the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (25 task orders, $199 million combined potential value) spanning 68 labor categories priced from $38.07/hr for entry-level support personnel through $209.24/hr for senior engineers, covering engineering services, systems design, testing, and human capital support; the indefinite-delivery contract NAS899006 with NASA (17 task orders); the Air Force TETRAS II IDIQ ($999 million ceiling); the OASIS+ Total Small Business GWAC (awarded December 2024, no dollar ceiling specified in the source, base through 2029); and the Army's W31P4Q06D0032 IDIQ ($98.3 million combined potential across five task orders). SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $23.5 million across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $6.4 million, FY2023: $9.4 million, FY2024: $7.7 million), with the SCI dataset showing 62.3 FTEs in FY2024 delivering Potomac River Test Range support on the Seaport-NXG delivery order at a median government-paid rate of $59.66/hr and senior labor pricing reaching $61.43/hr.

Asri operates as a prime builder with significant sub-engagement on SCI-reportable contracts: across prime service contracts, approximately 45% of contractor hours were performed by subcontractors, with 11 named subs reported. The firm's subcontractor footprint is dominated by Torch Technologies Inc., which Asri supports on multiple task orders for specialty engineering and technical support to the Army's Systems Readiness Directorate (recurring SRD orders from February 2024 through at least March 2026), alongside sub relationships with Modern Technology Solutions Inc. on the ARCWERX Artemis acquisition program management and R&D effort (March 2026), Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation on strike systems engineering and testing support (June 2025), and Radiance Technologies Inc. on directed energy test support (August 2022). Activity has accelerated over the past three years—from three awards in 2022 to sixteen in 2024, though 2025–2026 shows two awards thus far—with relatively modest recompete exposure: only two awards (combined potential value $54.6 million) face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. The firm's capability concentration spans engineering services (37 awards), research and development in physical and engineering sciences (25 awards), and custom computer programming (15 awards), with top PSC activity in support management and space R&D categories typical of aerospace contractor footprints.
