The U.S. armed forces have a long and distinguished history of
driving innovative research that has transformed both military and
civilian life. Since its inception in 1958, the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been at the forefront of
strengthening U.S. national security through technological
advances. To ensure our troops continue to be equipped with the
latest technology needed to combat today’s critical security
issues, DARPA’s Defense Sciences Office (DSO) has awarded Booz
Allen Hamilton a spot on a $120 million Indefinite Delivery,
Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Booz Allen will provide
scientific, engineering and technical assistance to support DARPA’s
research and development programs.
“Booz Allen has been a trusted partner to DARPA and DSO for more
than 25 years,” said Angela Wallace, Booz Allen vice president and
leader of the firm’s Engineering team. “In the coming years, we’re
going to continue our collaboration with the agency as it works to
address a number of evolving trends, such as the rapidly changing
nature of warfare and opponent capabilities, the increasing
complexity of the systems and systems-of-systems being developed,
and the blending of traditional soldiers and tactics with machines
and robotics.”
Under the new five-year contract, Booz Allen is going to provide
assistance across the full program life cycle, from initial
conception through planning to implementation, by delivering
technical, programmatic, financial and administrative services.
Booz Allen brings a highly qualified and experienced team to this
work, including:
- Technical staff from leading academic
institutions with expertise in physics, chemistry, materials,
engineering, social sciences and mathematics.
- Financial managers.
- Administrative professionals with
experience in DARPA policies, procedures and operations.
- A strong network across relevant user
and stakeholder communities.
Booz Allen is well positioned to support DARPA in its critical
mission to identify and pursue high-potential, fundamental research
initiatives across a broad spectrum of science and engineering
disciplines, and to transform these initiatives into game-changing
technologies that bolster our national security.
