Members of the Undersea Technology Innovation Consortium will get a chance to work on prototypes for everything from underwater drones to advanced weapons systems.
The Navy wants to ensure its underwater systems are as capable and deadly as any on Earth and is tapping a consortium of subsurface experts and vendors to advance 15 distinct technology areas.
The Naval Undersea Warfare Center “requires innovative technological solutions to address current and future security threats in the undersea and maritime environment,†according to a contract notice on beta.SAM.gov. The list includes topic areas ranging from passive sensing to advanced weapons delivery.
