Wearable Real-Time Command-and-Control Interface for Enhanced Naval Situational Awareness

Department of DefenseNAVY

AI Overview

The Navy seeks a maritime-qualified mixed reality wearable interface to deliver real-time command-and-control data fusion from multi-domain sensors to dispersed naval operators. The system must integrate JADC2 intelligence with spatial anchoring, laser-safe optics, and ruggedized durability for test range and autonomous swarm operations in challenging maritime environments.

Official Description

The Department of the Navy faces critical operational challenges in delivering real-time C2 capabilities to personnel operating in complex, multi-domain maritime environments. Naval operations require processing vast amounts of multi-source intelligence from JADC2 while ensuring mobility, tactical effectiveness, and operator safety.

Operational Gaps:

Key challenges include:

Information Overload: High-tempo operations result in multi-domain data saturation, reducing situational awareness. Mo...

Q&A UpdatedSep 10, 2026 at 7:01 PM

Wearable Real-Time Command-and-Control Interface for Enhanced Naval Situational Awareness

Five previously unanswered questions now have detailed responses:

  • Q2 (Cybersecurity): Documented architecture, threat model, and test plan sufficient; no CMMC Level 2 environment required for Phase I
  • Q3 (Laser Safety): Component-level demonstrations acceptable; no hardware deliverables required. Must prove laser protection won't degrade MR visual/situational awareness or FOV
  • Q4 (REPLICATOR Integration): Interface architecture and modeling/simulation sufficient; no CCS-compatible implementation needed. Phase I uses only publicly available data
  • Q5 (M&S/Sensor Fusion): Synthetically generated JADC2-like data acceptable; Government furnishes detailed interfaces/data in Phase II
  • Q6 (Haptic Systems): Visual MR experience required; haptic acceptable as supplement to visual/auditory channels to reduce cognitive load. Must articulate impact on evaluation

All Phase I work confirmed unclassified with no Government-furnished classified data or interfaces.

Wearable Real-Time Command-and-Control Interface for Enhanced Naval Situational Awareness

Added 1 new Q&A clarifying security requirements: Phase I work is unclassified/CUI only; classified work and facility/clearance requirements defer to Phase II, coordinated by Contracting Officer post-award.

Q&A UpdatedSep 3, 2026 at 2:01 PM

Wearable Real-Time Command-and-Control Interface for Enhanced Naval Situational Awareness

Added 4 new Q&As clarifying Phase I requirements: (1) cybersecurity validation evidence for FOUO/CUI processing; (2) laser safety integration testing expectations (physical vs. engineering analysis); (3) REPLICATOR/CCS interface implementation scope; (4) sensor-fusion modeling with synthetic vs. operational data. Original haptic MR question retained as Q5.

Wearable Real-Time Command-and-Control Interface for Enhanced Naval Situational Awareness

This clarifies that haptic mixed reality systems are acceptable delivery methods for both Phase 1 and 2, removing the requirement for visual displays and expanding the technical approaches applicants can propose.
