Counter Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (C-UUV) Defeat Technologies

The United States Coast Guard Research and Development Center is seeking information on commercially available technologies designed for the mitigation and defeat of Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) in the maritime domain. The technologies should be capable of supporting port, waterway, and coastal security operations, and addressing the unique challenges posed by UUVs in these environments. The Coast Guard is interested in systems that can provide reliable performance in real-world conditions, including sensor platforms, kinetic solutions, and integrated response solutions. Some key points to consider include: • Technical description of technology, including imagery as applicable • Description of how the technology works, including theory of operation • Description of how technology would be integrated into an underwater environment and/or harbor facility • Dimensions, weight, and other relevant parameters of the technology • Information on power required and source of power • Limitations of the effector • Software load, to include target profiles and targeting methodology • Estimated or simulated effects on key electrical, targeting, or navigational systems of targets • Prior tests or demonstrations the effector has participated in • TRL and basis for this TRL in the context of the GAO TRL definitions
