Tysons, Va.— The U.S. Air Force awarded LMI a 5-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III contract with two initial task orders to expand support to the Space Security and Defense Program (SSDP) and the Space Warfighting Analysis Center (SWAC). This contract, totaling $98M, will further develop LMI’s Rapid Analysis & Prototyping Toolkit for Resiliency (RAPTR™)—LMI’s flagship model-based system engineering simulation and analysis toolkit trusted within the National Security Space enterprise. 

RAPTR™ provides an extensible, scalable architecture for modeling, simulation, analysis, and visualization for the space warfighting domain as well as cross-domain integration and informs rapid decision-making to plan for asset deployment. Under this contract, LMI will support program management, space systems modeling, simulation, prototyping & analysis (MSP&A), space systems operations MSP&A, and space systems MSP&A technical integration.   

“The future of U.S. dominance in an increasingly contested space domain relies on the effectiveness of our tools and the readiness of our forces.”

Sr. Vice President, Space Market
 

“The future of U.S. dominance in an increasingly contested space domain relies on the effectiveness of our tools and the readiness of our forces,” says Dr. Mark Eddings, senior vice president of LMI’s space market. “LMI is committed to playing a pivotal role in that success by equipping warfighters with the solutions they need to understand the battlefield and make key decisions with confidence, speed, and clarity.” 

This expansive contract award further solidifies LMI’s presence in the space market by consistently providing innovative solutions to the Space Security and Defense Program and SWAC.
