This is a defense R&D support IDIQ for ranges, armaments, spectrum, and test/evaluation infrastructure, with security classification and a largely technical acquisition focus. IPPRA’s work is social-behavioral—public opinion, risk, warning, energy, and education policy—so this is not a plausible PI-level fit for the team.
