About this award

Albacore Inc. has been awarded an Other Transaction Agreement by the Office of the Secretary of Defense valued at $85,000 to develop non-kinetic disablement technology for non-compliant small watercraft under the "Show Stopper" initiative. The contract, awarded on January 16, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of January 16, 2029, will be performed in New York, NY. This effort aligns with the Department of Defense's interest in non-lethal engagement capabilities and maritime domain awareness, addressing the need for effective countermeasures against small vessels that pose security threats without causing kinetic harm.

The use of an Other Transaction Agreement indicates the Office of the Secretary of Defense is pursuing innovative acquisition approaches to rapidly advance disablement technologies outside traditional contracting mechanisms. Non-kinetic disablement methods for small watercraft represent an emerging capability area relevant to force protection, port security, and coastal defense operations. The three-year performance period allows for development, testing, and potential refinement of technologies designed to neutralize threat vessels through non-destructive means, supporting broader Department of Defense initiatives to enhance operational flexibility and reduce collateral damage risks in maritime security scenarios.
