Questions/Answers for N61331‐25-SN-Q04

1.) Are you looking for any particular format for the information in the notice? We do not have a particular format we are looking for responses in, but if a summary of the different technologies capabilities and TRLs could be provided as part of the response that would be helpful.

2.) Will you be hosting any industry days anytime soon? No.

3.) If I may, would you be applying the solution to small craft like a RIB or something larger like the LUSV? Would it be adapted to existing platforms and tied to a program of record? Open water or littoral environments? We are interested in solutions for both small craft and larger craft, as well as both open water and littoral environments.

4.) Regarding the underwater vehicle, are we looking at small vehicles (e.g. small torpedo sized craft or something larger? Open water or littoral? Similar to above, we are looking at solutions that range from small UUVs, such as torpedo sized craft, to larger UUVs for both open water and littoral environments.

5.) Is the desire to pursue something that operates at EMCON requiring only passive receipt of inputs or will the vision be something that actively transmits?

The current expectation is that the technology will require some active transmission, but if there are EMCON solutions those would be of interest for comparison with active transmission solutions in terms of their capabilities and feasibilities.

6.) Would you be able to share a hypothetical mission profile? I am unable to share a hypothetical mission profile at this time.

7.) Are you doing any work with airborne systems? Will the vision be to ultimately integrate it across multiple domains for cooperative operations?

We are not currently doing any work with airborne systems, however integration of these systems for multiple domain cooperative operations is part of potential future plans.
