About this opportunity
The U.S. Navy's Office of Naval Research (ONR) is seeking to develop advanced underwater technologies to detect and neutralize deep water explosive threats such as underwater mines and water-borne improvised explosive devices (WBIEDs). The key objectives are to enable Expeditionary Mine Countermeasures (ExMCM) forces to neutralize these threats using remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and diver-based solutions. Applicants must demonstrate capabilities in target sensing/localization, energetic/reactive tools for operations at depth, and ROV/diver teaming. An industry day will be held on January 31, 2025 at the Georgia Tech Research Institute, with white paper submissions due by March 20, 2025 and full proposals due by June 9, 2025.
The ONR anticipates issuing both grants and procurement contracts with performance periods of 3-5 years under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300). Funding decisions are expected on June 23, 2025, with award notifications on June 24, 2025 and estimated project awards on November 21, 2025. The research will focus on developing payloads and technologies that can be transitioned to the existing EOD Maritime Expeditionary Standoff Response (MESR) program of record.
Synopsis
The U.S. Navy's ExMCM forces confront a wide range of hazardous and explosive threats like underwater mines and Water-borne Improvised Explosive Devices (WBIED)s. ONR seeks to develop payloads that enable ExMCM forces to neutralize deep water mines and WBIEDs. A diver and/or ROV will deliver these payloads. Technologies developed may transition to the existing EOD Maritime Expeditionary Standoff Response (MESR) program of record, which fields underwater capabilities required to counter threats in marine environments. ***Industry Day will be on 31 JAN 2025. Registration for Industry Day deadline is 10 JAN 2025.***
