About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $5.5 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract to Pacmar Technologies LLC (doing business as Navatek), a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American small business based in Honolulu, Hawaii, for development of the Manta Ray program. This initiative seeks to design and develop a new class of long-duration, long-range, payload-capable autonomous undersea vehicles (UUVs) capable of extended operations without maintenance or refueling. The contract, which was awarded on February 24, 2020, and completed on September 8, 2021, required Pacmar to address classified program objectives and develop novel propulsion, sensing, and energy management systems to achieve the extended endurance and operational range requirements. No small business set-aside was utilized for this award.
Pacmar Technologies, a subsidiary of Pacific Marine & Supply Company LTD, brought specialized expertise in autonomous systems, advanced research and development, and maritime technology to this effort. The performance location was Honolulu, Hawaii. This award represents one component of DARPA's multi-phase Manta Ray program, which anticipated multiple awards to design, develop, and test vehicles through a base period and option period. Pacmar's selection reflects the company's established track record in autonomous vehicle development and its previous successful engagements with the Department of Defense and Naval commands, positioning it to deliver the innovative technological solutions required for this advanced undersea vehicle program.
