About this award
Subuas LLC, a New Jersey-based manufacturer and research and development provider, was awarded a $23.0 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract by the Office of Naval Research on November 8, 2023, for the Subsurface Autonomous Naviator Delivery (SAND) system. The contract, which extends through November 12, 2025, will be performed in Bridgewater, New Jersey. The effort involves the development and demonstration of launch and recovery capabilities for the Naviator—an unmanned underwater vehicle—from and to a larger UUV (using a UUV surrogate) without human-in-the-loop control, enabling fully autonomous deployment and recovery operations. This contract represents no small business set-aside.
Subuas brings specialized expertise in autonomous underwater systems and maritime technologies developed through prior Department of Navy and Office of Naval Research awards. The SAND system aligns with the Navy's broader objectives to enhance autonomous capabilities and operational flexibility of undersea platforms, supporting the advancement of unmanned systems integration and subsurface mission effectiveness. The solicitation was posted in September 2022 with a September 2023 due date, resulting in the November 2023 award after evaluation and contract finalization.
