High-Throughput Embarked Data Transfer Solution

The United States Navy is seeking a high-throughput embarked data transfer solution to enable rapid data package transmission off embarked Navy platforms. The agency needs a developer to create a prototype small form factor device, with a total stowed volume of one cubic foot including the transceiver, along with any required integration software. This technology aims to solve the problem of transferring large volumes of data from maritime environments, with potential dual-use applications for expeditionary or remote use cases requiring exceptionally high-throughput transmissions. The scope of work requires the development of the physical device and its supporting software capabilities to enable seamless system integration. The project includes a demonstration of the full end-to-end data transmission process between a surface combatant equipped with Combat System Engineering Agent software and a government ashore analysis and support activity. Performance of all contracted work will take place offsite. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a specific funding limit. Key dates and specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the initial solicitation, but the agency expects bidders to address the core technical requirements of the small form factor design and the integration software.
