Description

This solicitation invites industry, academia, and government labs to submit technology‑experimentation nominations for a live demonstration event focused on combat‑diving communications, underwater propulsion, and maritime domain situational awareness on unmanned surface vehicles. Participants will demonstrate mid‑TRL (5‑7) hardware/software at the U.S. Army Special Forces Underwater Operations School in Key West, FL, between 7‑11 December 2026. Selections will be made via peer‑review based on mission relevance, technical merit, and affordability; successful nominees may later receive a contract under an Other Transaction, CRADA, or similar vehicle. No funding is disclosed; all costs for travel, demonstration, and risk‑assessment paperwork are borne by the submitter.

Budget estimate

$50,000 – $250,000

No dollar amount is disclosed. Based on the need for hardware demonstration, travel to Key West, safety and risk‑assessment documentation, and potential post‑event contract work under an OT/CRADA vehicle, a reasonable estimate for the demonstration phase would be between $50 k and $250 k, depending on the complexity of the technology and travel costs.
