About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded Lockheed Martin Corporation's Advanced Technology Laboratories division a $11.42 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract on February 24, 2020, to develop the Manta Ray program, a new class of long-duration, long-range, payload-capable unmanned underwater vehicles. Work is being performed at the contractor's facility in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, with an ultimate completion date of October 21, 2020. This contract was awarded without a set-aside designation following a pre-solicitation opportunity posted in June 2019, with proposals evaluated on technical approach, schedule, and cost. The Manta Ray program seeks to deliver autonomous undersea vehicles capable of transporting and deploying large payloads over extended distances without requiring maintenance or refueling, leveraging novel propulsion systems, sensing technologies, and energy management solutions.
The contract represents DARPA's commitment to advancing autonomous undersea capabilities through a multi-phase development program intended to design, develop, and test vehicles across multiple award recipients. Lockheed Martin's award falls within a broader initiative to demonstrate long-endurance autonomous underwater vehicle technology with advanced command and control systems, supporting the Department of Defense's undersea operational requirements. As a major defense contractor with extensive experience in advanced aerospace and autonomous systems development, Lockheed Martin brings significant technical depth to undersea vehicle integration, including propulsion optimization and energy management technologies critical to achieving the extended endurance objectives outlined in the program requirements.
