LAKEHURST, N.J. -- The U.S. Navy awarded ImSAR of Springville, Utah -- a U.S. Department of Defense-designated small business -- a $7.6 million modification (P00001) to a cost-plus-fixed-fee, firm-fixed-price order (N68335-20-F-0625) under a previously issued basic ordering agreement (N68335-18-G-0015). Under the order, ImSAR will provide research, development, procurement, and sustainment of the RQ-21A Blackjack UAV's DPY-2(v)1 and (v)2 Split Aces ground surveillance radar payload system software.

The modification order exercises a contract option and continues efforts in support of system and simulation training capabilities improvements for system operators under small business innovation research topic AF112-144 titled, "Advanced Radar Concepts for Small (Tier I/II) Remotely Piloted Aircraft."

The contracted work will be performed in Springville, Utah (95%) and Patuxent River, Maryland (5%), and is expected to be completed in September 2023.

The Navy is obligating $7.4 million in Fiscal Year 2021 Aircraft Procurement and $193,330 in FY21 Operation and Maintenance funds at the time of the award, $193,330 of which will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. The U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, New Jersey, is the contracting activity.
