DCS Corporation was awarded a $95 million Air Force Research Laboratory contract on March 10, 2026 under ASSET — Assessment of Sensing-Autonomy Sensor Exploitation Technologies — to support AFRL's Multi-Domain Sensing Autonomy Division (AFRL/RYA). Per DCS' own press release and Intelligence Community News.
Scope
DCS will provide tools to model, analyze, assess, and predict mission-level effects based on sensor performance — obtained empirically or through modeling, simulation, and analysis — across air, ground, space, and cyber domains. The work supports rapid decisions in strike, electronic warfare, and ISR missions.
Continuity from MEAMS
ASSET follows the 5-year, $48.4 million Mission Effects Analysis of Multi-Domain Sensing (MEAMS) contract previously held by DCS subsidiary Infoscitex. The roughly 2x scale and broader scope (autonomy + multi-domain) reflect the Air Force's pivot to autonomous sensor exploitation.
What to do
- EW and ISR modeling/simulation firms: ASSET task orders will source specialty subs in waveform modeling and emitter classification
- If you sell sensor performance models: AFRL/RYA is the natural buyer — DCS is the gatekeeper
