Rescue Rover LLC

Rescue Rover LLC, doing business as Alphabravo, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in Frederick, Maryland, that provides advanced battle management systems, research and development, and defense technology innovation to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) across full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designation on its largest contract vehicles, though SBIR Phase II work carries small-business set-aside status.

Rescue Rover's customer base concentrates heavily in defense, with the Department of the Air Force accounting for 99.6% of combined potential value across all awards. The Air Force's $950 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract for advanced battle management systems dominates the portfolio, representing the single largest contract vehicle. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center has issued two awards (combined $2.7 million), and the Department of Energy Office of Science, the General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service, and the Missile Defense Agency round out the active customer set. The concentration pattern reflects a narrowly specialized defense R&D footprint rather than broad civilian or multi-agency reach.

The vendor holds four primary contract vehicles: the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency (ceiling $151 billion, awarded January 21, 2026, completion December 28, 2035), the Air Force's $950 million Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) multiple-award contract, a Naval Air Warfare Center Basic Ordering Agreement for SBIR Phase II work running through June 25, 2029, and a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract for IT professional services (ceiling $425 thousand, awarded January 27, 2022, completion January 26, 2027). The SHIELD award is recent and carries multi-domain defense scope spanning research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, cybersecurity, and modernization across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains.

Representative prime work includes a $2.7 million firm fixed-price delivery order from Naval Air Warfare Center under the SBIR Phase II program for advanced battle management systems and command-and-control modernization (ultimate completion July 7, 2026), a $1.8 million firm fixed-price delivery order under the ABMS contract for advanced battle management capabilities (awarded July 26, 2023, completion August 3, 2023), and a $236 thousand project grant from the Department of Energy Office of Science (CFDA 81.049) to develop the ABSCAN end-to-end container security platform (completed August 13, 2022). The most recent award, issued January 21, 2026, is a $500 initial delivery order under SHIELD with the Missile Defense Agency.

Activity is sparse and episodic — two awards in 2020, none in 2021, two each in 2022, 2023, and 2024, with two in 2026 year-to-date. Combined obligated dollars total $3.2 million against a combined potential value of $954.2 million, indicating that the largest contract vehicles (SHIELD and ABMS) remain early-stage or minimal-burn. The vendor's capability profile centers on defense R&D (five awards under National Defense R&D Services PSC codes), cloud-native development, and command-and-control engineering grounded in SBIR Phase II innovation and joint-domain defense modernization. Rescue Rover does not subcontract; all awards are prime deliverables.
