DCS (with subsidiary Infoscitex) was awarded a $95 million Air Force Research Laboratory contract on March 12, 2026 under ASSET — Assessment of Sensing-Autonomy Sensor Exploitation Technologies — to support AFRL's Multi-Domain Sensing Autonomy Division. Coverage from GovCon Wire.
Scope
DCS will develop analytical tools to evaluate and forecast mission-level outcomes using sensor performance information from testing, modeling, and simulation across multiple domains. The goal is to support 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 Infoscitex won in October 2018. 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's Sensors Directorate is the natural buyer — DCS is the gatekeeper
