CICERO — SRC Inc. was recently awarded a nearly $24.3 million contract for innovative research and development of advanced efficient computing architectures and systems.
The pact provides for development of robust algorithms and applications, in order to achieve orders of magnitude improvement in size, weight, and power, for deploying robust artificial intelligence and machine-learning capabilities in an embedded computing environment for ground, air, and space domains. That’s according to a Sept. 26 contract announcement from the U.S. Department of War (formerly called the Department of Defense).
Work will be performed at SRC’s facility in Cicero and is expected to be completed by Nov. 26, 2028. This award is the result of a competitive acquisition, and two bids were received. Fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 research, development, test, and evaluation funds of $203,460 are being obligated at the time of award, per the contract announcement. The Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome is the contracting authority.
SRC is a not-for-profit research and development company that says it combines information, science, technology, and ingenuity to solve problems in the areas of defense, environment, and intelligence. It employs more than 1,400 people.
