About this award
Michigan Engineering Services LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has been awarded a $1.999M cost-plus-fixed-fee contract by the Office of Naval Research to develop an Intelligent Assistant for Ship Design (IASD) under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase II. This contract, awarded on August 26, 2025, with completion targeted for August 25, 2029, focuses on creating an intelligent design tool specifically for hull forms of autonomous vessels. A key distinguishing feature of this effort is the incorporation of producibility considerations into the design process—an element currently inadequate in existing naval early-stage design tools. The contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, reflecting ONR's commitment to leveraging small business innovation capabilities for naval technology advancement.
The award emerges from ONR's broad agency announcement soliciting long-range science and technology research with potential to advance Navy and Marine Corps operations across multiple disciplines. Michigan Engineering Services' successful SBIR Phase II progression demonstrates prior validation of their technical approach, building on foundational Phase I work. The company's established track record in developing specialized software tools, engineering simulations, and advanced computational modeling across multiple federal agencies positions it to deliver the sophisticated autonomous vessel design capabilities required by the Navy. This contract represents continued investment in automated design methodologies that enhance both naval vessel innovation and manufacturing feasibility considerations.
Description
An intelligent assistant for ship design will be developed for designing hull forms of autonomous vessels. One component of iasd is the incorporation of producibility, which is not adequately addressed in current naval early-stage design tools.
