DON SBIR: SI-Enabled Just-in-Time Knowledge Delivery for Naval Maintainers

The Department of the Navy seeks an SI-enabled maintenance associate to deliver interactive, expert-level guidance for complex diagnostic and repair tasks at the point of need. The system must provide technicians with historical context on vehicles or components, ingest various data formats, adapt step-by-step guidance to user skill levels, and curate maintenance histories into a mineable repository. The initial capability will focus on a prototype tailored to a representative set of equipment, preferably for maintainers of unmanned systems, that can scale across multiple domains. Eligibility is restricted to onshore USA organizations. Offerors must be U.S.-owned, disclose any proposed foreign nationals under ITAR and EAR restrictions, and achieve a projected CMMC Level 2 self-assessment. Selected contractors must also be able to obtain and maintain a secret-level facility clearance, as work produced in Phase II may become classified. Work will be performed offsite, and Phase I proposals must include deliverables such as a technical feasibility report and a system architecture document.
