The Department of Defense said Wednesday the Dayton, Ohio-based UES secured a $500 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract and two cost-plus-fixed-fee task orders, valued at $148 million and $98.7 million each, to conduct research aimed at understanding the effects and interactions of electromagnetic spectrum sources on materials, components and systems relevant to the Department of the Air Force and the Department of War in air and space domains.

The research, which will be done in Dayton, is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 1, 2033. The Air Force Research Laboratory, located at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, will allocate $1.4 million from fiscal 2025 research, development, test and evaluation funds at the time of award.
