The Navy seeks an ultra-compact, low-power computational engine (under 1 lb, 150W) that can process high-bandwidth radio frequency sensor data in real-time for small unmanned platforms. This technology enables rapid RF detection and classification at the tactical edge where network constraints make onboard processing critical.

The Navy seeks an innovative waste heat recovery system to capture thermal energy from LM 2500 engine exhaust and convert it to electrical power, reducing fuel consumption and emissions while operating within strict DDG 51 Class constraints on space, weight, and radar signature.

This SBIR seeks AI/ML and digital twin tools to optimize additive manufacturing parameters and predict mechanical performance across the entire component lifecycle. The solution addresses rapid production of legacy parts by integrating material selection, build optimization, and performance prediction into a single, system-agnostic platform for Navy manufacturing.

This SBIR seeks machine learning solutions to enhance passive sonar tracking, classification, and localization for anti-submarine warfare systems. The effort aims to improve detection speed, tracking persistence, and target classification accuracy beyond current algorithmic capabilities.

The Navy seeks a portable, self-powered Underway Replenishment (UNREP) tester/trainer system to validate ship cargo and liquid transfer equipment without requiring pier space or availability of delivery ships. This mobile solution will reduce in-port testing delays while enabling fleet training on UNREP highline operations at various locations.

The Navy seeks a lightweight, corrosion-resistant beaching ramp system to replace heavy steel alternatives that degrade rapidly in saltwater environments. The solution must support 70-ton vehicle loads, deploy within 30 minutes, and maintain reliability over the 30-year ship lifecycle while operating in extreme marine conditions.

The Navy is seeking VR software that enables engineers to virtually walk through DDG-51 destroyer CAD models for design reviews. This solution would reduce costly construction errors by allowing early detection of layout issues and supporting crew training before deployment.

The Navy seeks a compact, low-power maritime transceiver using non-RF technology to enable secure, covert communications between moving vehicles and autonomous systems. This addresses adversary detection capabilities by providing low intercept/detection probability communications over 5km+ ranges with high bandwidth and minimal size, weight, and power requirements.

SBIR seeks development of a domain-specific large language model to help military personnel rapidly extract insights from high-volume operational documents, communications, and tactical data. The standalone AI/NLP system must operate securely with full source attribution and traceability for classified environments.

This RFP seeks an integrated metal-ceramic matrix coating technology adapted from titanium applications to protect high-strength steel landing gear components. The solution must eliminate current coating limitations (corrosion hiding, poor repairability, wear issues) while improving durability and operational readiness.

NASA seeks science team proposals for hemispheric airborne measurements of air quality. The HAMAQ program supports research using aircraft-based monitoring to advance atmospheric and environmental science understanding.
