Orlando, Fla. (November 19, 2020) – Advanced Simulation Research, Inc. (ASRI) has been awarded a $950,000,000 ceiling indefinite-delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for the maturation, demonstration and proliferation of capability across platforms and domains, leveraging open systems design, modern software and algorithm development in order to enable Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2). This contract is part of a multiple award multi-level security effort to provide development and operation of systems as a unified force across all domains (air, land, sea, space, cyber, and electromagnetic spectrum) in an open architecture family of systems that enables capabilities via multiple integrated platforms.
Under this IDIQ, ASRI, headquartered in the UCF Research Park Innovation District in Orlando FL, was named in the fifth round of companies selected by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) to compete for task orders within this USAF multi-billion dollar Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) program. “It’s an honor to see our company listed with many leaders in the defense industry, and to be a part of this visionary and essential undertaking by the Air Force,” says Juan Vaquerizo, ASRI president and founder. “The future of warfare is going to be executed at machine speeds, where artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), high-speed secure networks, and autonomous machines are critical technologies that will help our warfighters stay ahead of the threats.” One of the key aspects of the program is to ensure that information collected through a variety of real-time sensors and methods is quickly captured and analyzed using artificial intelligence and distributed to those in the battlefield in near real time. In support of this objective, ASRI brings its expertise in AI/ML and real-time simulations, including autonomous systems design, training, and validation through mission simulation. This is supplemented with ASRI’s extensive experience in hardware and software systems development and integration for sensor data processing, including scalable embedded systems with AI onboard sensor data exploitation “at the edge”. The Air Force has contracted with nearly 100 companies across the country as they seek to revolutionize their entire battlefield management system. Nearly every major defense contractor is involved, along with many other small and medium-sized businesses. Only one other company in the Orlando area is participating. Mr. Vaquerizo views cross-collaboration with the ABMS team members as the key to success, stating, “We are excited to be part of the team that will embark on this endeavor to provide our armed forces with an all-seeing, all-knowing network that seamlessly connects sensors to warfighters so they can exploit all available data at machine speeds to get inside the opponent’s decision cycle and gain the decisive advantage.” About Advanced Simulation Research, Inc. ASRI is a Minority-Owned, Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), based in Orlando, Fla. Since its founding in 2005, ASRI has focused on product development and research for the U.S. defense industry. ASRI’s areas of expertise cover a broad spectrum of technologies that include AI/ML system development, real-time sensor data exploitation, embedded system design, and VR/AR system development. These systems, based on COTS technologies, are integrated to solve some of the DoD’s most complex problems while drastically reducing manufacturing costs. The team has designed and developed leading-edge integrated systems; from AI-based autonomous ISR onboard processors and VR-based immersive dismounted Soldier human-wearable training systems, to a lab-based space shuttle astronaut training system. ASRI has transitioned prototype system concepts to production systems for commercial and programs of record. For more information, please visit www.asri-tech.com.
