The company will work on hardware and software rapid prototyping, integration, test, demonstration and update, the Department of Defense said Thursday.Â
The cost-plus-fixed-fee award also requires simulation and modeling of tools, operational assessment, and system and data analysis.
Work will take place in Utica in New York through May 2022.Â
The Air Force will obligate $14.7M from procurement, research, development, test and evaluation funds at the time of award.
