The Advanced Technology Support Program is a government-wide contracting vehicle designed to meet Department of War requirements for rapid response across technology development, acquisition, and long-term support. It is intended to provide quick reaction capabilities covering the full spectrum of advanced microelectronics needs.
“This award reflects Draper’s deep engineering expertise and proven track record in delivering secure, high-impact technologies for national security missions,” said Michael Cassidy, Director, Secured & Assured Systems, Draper. “Through ATSP5, we look forward to partnering with DMEA and the broader defense ecosystem to rapidly field advanced microelectronics and system capabilities, address obsolescence and performance challenges, and ensure enduring technological advantage for the warfighter.”
The ATSP5 award is structured as an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract with firm-fixed-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee elements and a base ordering period of five years, plus two option periods of three and two years. The program has a ceiling of up to $25.3 billion and is available to all federal agencies, including Department of War, civilian, and Foreign Military Sales customers.
The scope of ATSP5 includes both hardware and software activities such as studies, design, simulation, fabrication, prototyping, integration, testing, and limited production. It also covers the development of methods and procedures, strategies for replacement alternatives, and technical interchange to support task execution.
Draper is a non-profit research, development, and manufacturing organization employing more than 2,500 people across 12 locations. Its work focuses on strategic systems, space systems, electronic systems, and biotechnology systems in support of mission-driven national challenges.
