Metis Technology Solutions, a technical services company specializing in software engineering, aerospace engineering and systems development, has been awarded a potential $177 million contract by NASA to provide engineering services for the development and maintenance of software and hardware for aerospace research and development simulations.
NASA said Thursday the Aerospace Research, Technology and Simulations contract covers services necessary for developing, operating and maintaining existing and future simulators, including simulation work areas, integration laboratories and aircraft research systems.
The ARTS hybrid cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price contract with an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity component, Metis will also develop, test and conduct validation of advanced air traffic management automation tools, including advanced concepts for aviation ecosystems.
Metis will work on the project at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California and Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia and at other agency or government locations, if necessary.
The project has a one-year base period and will commence on Dec. 1. It also comes with options that, if exercised, can extend the contract until November 2029.
