About this award
Rutgers, The State University has been awarded a $11.8 million cost-no-fee definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for Phase 1 of the Reefense program. This bilateral modification adjusts the end date and reduces Phase 3 efforts under the contract, which runs through May 3, 2027. The Reefense program seeks to develop self-healing, hybrid biological and engineered reef-mimicking structures designed to mitigate coastal flooding, erosion, and storm damage that threaten both civilian and Department of Defense infrastructure and personnel. Rutgers' Research Financial Services Division will conduct this work at the university's New Brunswick, New Jersey campus.
Under the original solicitation, the program spans three phases over 150 months with the objective of creating reef structures capable of achieving 90 percent wave attenuation. Phase 1 work includes wave tank testing of structural designs to demonstrate 70 percent wave attenuation by month 18, with subsequent phases involving field deployment of reef structures up to 100 total meters in length. Proposals were evaluated on technical merit, management approach, and cost, addressing substrate design and structure, ecosystem engineering, and adaptive biology of corals and oysters. This effort represents DARPA's investment in nature-based and engineered solutions to enhance coastal resilience for military and civilian applications.
Description
Reefense program phase 1 seeks to develop self healing, hybrid biological, and engineered reef-mimicking structures to mitigate the coastal flooding, erosion, and storm damage that increasingly threaten civilian and DOD infrastructure and personnel.
