The Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) is seeking information from nontraditional and traditional defense contractors to carry out prototype projects under 10 U.S.C. 4022. The projects should be directly relevant to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military personnel and the supporting platforms, systems, components, or materials proposed to be acquired or developed by the Department of Defense (DoD). The specific area of interest is Tactical Oceanography Supporting Full-Spectrum Undersea Warfare. The contractor will be required to develop new onboard and offboard environmental sensors and devices, as well as information systems that enable operators to increase performance of existing systems through expert use of the environment. The contractor will work with the Navy technical community to investigate research and development focus areas and contribute to the development of TAC-O program methodologies.
Some key aspects of the project include:
• Development of new onboard and offboard environmental sensors and devices
• Development of information systems that enable operators to increase performance of existing systems
• Investigation of research and development focus areas
• Contribution to the development of TAC-O program methodologies
• Prototype projects and research and development efforts
The project will involve working with the Navy technical community, and the contractor will be required to provide scientific and engineering prototype deliverables, as well as analysis and testing services.
