Budget estimate

$500,000 – $50,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate, as it is a Request for Information (RFI) and not a solicitation for a contract. However, based on the information provided, it appears that the United States Air Force is interested in acquiring Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) for potential future use. The cost of USVs can vary widely depending on the size, complexity, and capabilities of the vessels. A rough estimate for the cost of a single USV could be in the range of $500,000 to $5 million, depending on the specifications and features. However, this is highly speculative and should be taken as a rough order of magnitude estimate. The total budget for a potential contract could be significantly higher, potentially in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, depending on the number of USVs acquired and the scope of the contract.
