A FULL STUDY PORPOSAL AND PROPOSED BUDGET IS REQUESTED PROJECT: Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton Natural Resources Support- Juvenile Salmonid Surveys in Sinclair Inlet, WA NOTE: For any Cooperative Agreement entered into in response to this Request for Full Proposal (RFP), a maximum 17.5% indirect cost rate will be paid on work covered by such agreement or any modifications thereto. Unless the agreement specifies otherwise, the basis of direct costs against which the agreement’s indirect cost rate is applied must be either the same base identified in the recipient's federally negotiated indirect…

This purpose of the GlobalX Challenge is to accelerate the traditional knowledge generation cycle, proving or disproving an applied research theory on an advanced timeline, leading to the discovery of revolutionary dual-use capability for the benefit of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, the commercial marketplace, and the public. The expected outcomes of this Challenge are promising, potentially game-changing, applied concepts whose maturity may be accelerated under separate follow-on technology development efforts.

Expected Impact: The outcome should contribute to: Accelerate the adoption of commercial high-tech propulsion and power system components. Technology implementation on naval vessels and the accelerated development, prototyping and demonstration of a number of crucial propulsion and power system technology building blocks. Accelerate the future research and development programmes of on energy conversion systems. Objective: The EU has set the ambition to be carbon neutral by 2050. This objective also affects military naval vessels. Most efficiently produced carbon-neutral fuels such as hydrogen…

Expected Impact: The outcomes should contribute to: Incentive EDTIB to invest in the development of innovative stand-off ASW engagement capabilities. Reduce development risk for EDTIB. Reduce time to market of the required capability. Objective: Modern submarines are equipped with long-range heavy weight torpedoes (HWT) or sub launched anti-ship missiles. Both effectors normally exceed the range of surface ships organic underwater sensors and effectors. To be able to engage adversary submarines outside the torpedo danger zone, usually lightweight torpedoes (LWT) are deployed by aerial assets…

Expected Impact: The outcome should contribute to: Accelerate the battle rhythm of naval operations based on real time exchange of data and synchronised collaboration between naval assets. Optimise data communication requirements (e.g., protocol, bandwidth, latency, throughput). The commonality of EU Member States’ and EDF Associated Countries’ naval systems by proposing a common digital ship architecture, a comprehensive portfolio of related standards, services and products, and a naval combat cloud environment. Increase interoperability and interchangeability among EU Member States’ and EDF…

Expected Impact: The outcomes should contribute to: Enhanced security for EU Member States and EDF Associated Countries for the areas ASW, SBW, ISR, SF, MCM, MDO, protection of critical infrastructure and situational awareness. Use of synergies within European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB) to develop common interoperable standards, to avoid duplications or incompatible technology solutions and to reduce development risks/costs. Improvement of EU strategical competitiveness and autonomy. Objective: The rapid emergence of unmanned systems in all military operational domains…
