Description
Request for Solutions:
USV C2 laboratory Expansion Project
PURPOSE: This Special Notice is issued to provide awareness of the release of a Request for Solutions (RFS) for an other transaction project in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 4022. The USV C2 laboratory Expansion Project has been issued as part of the Maritime Advanced Technology Consortium (MATAC) managed by Advanced Technology International (ATI) and administered by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY: As the Department of the Navy increasingly relies on autonomous platforms to support Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) and extend the tactical edge, the Navy desires to significantly enhance its Command and Control (C2) capabilities within unmanned spaces. To ensure the command meets these future Navy goals, Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) is establishing a modern, independent Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) C2 Laboratory at the Surface Warfare Engineering Facility (SWEF). Other Transaction Consortium Vendors interested in responding to this RFS must be members of MATAC. Interested parties may visit MATAC.org for membership information.
