About this award
The University of Iowa was awarded a $875,000 definitive contract by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to develop next-generation design tools for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) ranging from 100 to 200 feet in length. The contract, awarded September 2, 2025, with performance through September 1, 2030, focuses on advancing computational capabilities to model slamming and fluid-structure interaction phenomena, as well as dynamic instabilities in vessel design. Additionally, the contractor will contribute to developing at-sea prediction capabilities for vessel motions based on sensor data inputs. This work emerges from ONR's Broad Agency Announcement, which solicits long-range science and technology projects to advance Navy and Marine Corps operations across multiple engineering disciplines. The contract utilizes a cost-no-fee pricing structure with no set-aside designation, reflecting the university's status as a large public research institution competing unrestricted for federal procurements.
The University of Iowa, a prominent public research institution in Iowa City, brings substantial experience in specialized naval research and development to this engagement. The institution maintains an active portfolio of federal contracts and grants spanning defense, medical, and advanced research domains, including prior work with ONR and other Defense Department entities. This award aligns with ONR's strategic investment in advancing maritime technology and vessel performance prediction, critical capabilities for optimizing next-generation unmanned surface vehicle designs and operational effectiveness across challenging naval environments.
