About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research is seeking proposals for the development and demonstration of a power and propulsion system for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) that can efficiently operate across a wide range of speeds and distances. The proposed system should be capable of transitioning between low and high speeds, as well as the ability to stop and restart at any time. The program aims to pursue technologies and systems that support these requirements. An Industry Day event is scheduled for March 4, 2024, to provide further details on the mission profile and allow for dialogue among interested parties. White papers and full proposals are due by July 1, 2024.
This is an unrestricted solicitation, with no set-aside designation. The award value and budget range are not specified. The place of performance is not explicitly stated, but the system is intended to propel underwater vehicles, suggesting potential work may be conducted in aquatic environments. The notice does not mention any incumbent contractors or potential award amounts.
Notice text
The proposed topic will explore and exploit the lack of underwater propulsion systems that can efficiently work across a wide variety of speeds over long distances. In particular, this effort is interested in a propulsion system able to transition between low and high speeds, to include the ability to stop and re-start at any time. Other desired characteristics will be briefed at the event. The program will pursue technologies and systems that support development and demonstration of a system that can propel an underwater vehicle in the ways listed. Further mission profile details will be provided at the Industry Day.
The purpose of this announcement is to focus attention of the scientific community on (1) the area to be studied, (2) the Industry Day scheduled on 4 MAR 2024 for dialogue amongst those interested in this arena, and (3) the planned timetable for the submission of white papers and full proposals.
