The work will be performed here at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and is expected to be complete by March 4, 2024.

Fiscal 2019 research and development funds in the amount of $1,254,000 are being obligated at the time of award, the department said.

The Air Force Research Laboratory, based at Wright-Patterson, is the contracting activity.

In September 2017, ARS landed another contract, in a $47 million, five-year deal with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center that was expected to lead to hiring up to 60 additional employees to work in the Dayton area, Massachusetts and other locations across the country, according to Gary Wittlinger, an ARS managing partner.
