BAE Systems to Create Autonomy Software for Multi-Domain Mission Planning

The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded BAE Systems a contract to develop software that will enable semi-autonomous multi-domain mission planning. BAE Systems, in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University, will create software called Multi-domain Adaptive Request Service (MARS). The technology will be designed for military operators to leverage battlespace resources from across various domains such as space, air, land, and sea, for more effective, efficient missions.

CACI was awarded a five-year $438 million single-award task order to support the Air Force Research Laboratory on advancing Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) programs and other functional areas. Under the task order, CACI researchers and team members will develop and sustain Air Force C4ISR programs, like the Distributed Common Ground System. CACI will also provide mission expertise on other functional areas, including multi-domain integration of intelligence and operations across air, space, and cyberspace.

Perspecta Awarded $16 Million Task Order and a Spot on GSA COMET Program
