- Description
- Background The Other Transaction Authority (OTA), 10 U.S.C. § 2371b, allows the Department of Defense (DoD) to "carry out prototype projects that are directly relevant to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military personnel and the supporting platforms, systems, components or materials proposed to be carried out by the DoD, or to improvement of platforms, systems, components, or materials in use by the armed forces." Constant innovation and rapid technology advances are occurring throughout the world. Partnerships with commercial industry, the civil maritime sector, and others will be used to leverage these approaches and increase flexibility and agility, reduce cost, improve technology and capability insertion, and decrease program development cycles. The OTA offers an alternative to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)‐based acquisitions, allowing for access to participation by non-traditional defense contractors with innovative solutions that may not normally desire to participate in government procurement. Requirement NUWC requires innovative technological solutions to address current and future security threats in the undersea and maritime environment. NUWC will be soliciting a list of topics on or about 25 July 2018. This synopsis provides notice of the topics solicited. Topic titles are provided below: AxB Performance Assessment Infrastructure Prototype Unmanned Underwater Vehicle for Environmental Sensing, Monitoring and Prediction Unmanned Surface Vehicle for Environmental Sensing, Monitoring and Prediction Distributed sensors for Environmental Sensing, Monitoring and Prediction Submarine Torpedo Defense Improved Post-Launch Communication System (IPLCS) Torpedo Operational Software Algorithm Development Acoustic Response of Coral Reef Biota to Underwater Vehicle Traffic & Disturbance Further details are provided in the attachment. Note that the attachment is Distribution D and therefore access controlled. If you do not have access to the attachment please refer to the below information concerning the Undersea Technology Innovation Consortium (UTIC). The Undersea Technology Innovation Consortium (UTIC) is a consortium of industry, non-profit, and academic institutions brought together for the purpose of conducting research, development and testing in cooperation with the Government leading to technology demonstrations in undersea and maritime technology applications and solutions. If you have any questions regarding the UTIC or are interested in joining, please contact Hannah.Bolton@ati.org <mailto:Hannah.Bolton@ati.org> or visit http://www.underseatech.org/join <http://www.underseatech.org/join>. Please note that in order to respond to the resulting solicitation, your organization must be a member of UTIC.
