Low Profile Mast and Rotational Module Component Prototype Other Transaction Area of Interest

The U.S. Navy’s Submarine Electromagnetic Systems Program Office (PMS 435) is issuing an Area‑of‑Interest (AOI) under Other Transaction Authority to develop prototype low‑profile mast (LPM) Type 24 Mod 1 and/or a rotational module (RM) for submarine platforms. Companies must submit a Terms‑of‑Use Agreement (TOU) to receive CUI technical data, then respond to Q&A, request DoD SAFE links, and deliver Phase I white‑papers/placemats by the October 20, 2026 deadline. The effort may lead to one or more prototype awards with a design‑to‑test schedule of ≤ 36 months for LPM and ≤ 24 months for RM, and includes options for cost‑share and scalability to modest production rates. Eligibility is limited to U.S., U.K., or Australian‑owned firms (or teams with such ownership) and requires appropriate CUI handling clearances.
