ROME, N.Y. — Assured Information Security Inc. (AIS) has been awarded a $49.9 million contract from the U.S. Air Force for the Dauntless Cyber Platform/Prototype.
The pact is for research, development, integration, testing, evaluation, and transition of new and emerging technologies that improve mission coordination, advance the capabilities of cyberspace operations in an array of environments, and better equip military forces. Work will be performed in Rome, where AIS is headquartered, and is expected to be completed in March 2024, according to a March 12 U.S. Department of Defense contract announcement.
This cost-plus-fixed-fee completion contract award resulted from a competitive acquisition, for which two offers were received. So, AIS beat out one other company for the deal. The Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome was the contracting authority, per the Department of Defense.
