Call for Technology: Advancing Maritime Autonomous Platforms

Southwest Mission Acceleration Center (SWMAC) is seeking new & emerging technology solutions in the realm of maritime autonomous platforms with advanced nocturnal navigation capabilities. The ideal technology is semi-autonomous (minimal human intervention) to fully autonomous (no direct human control) and operational in denied environments, demonstrating proficiency during both daylight and nighttime conditions, equipped with advanced sensory equipment for visibility and detection, resilient communications systems for consistent connectivity, and intelligent navigation capabilities for dynamic adaptability to ever-changing maritime challenges.

A Technical Readiness Level (TRL) of 5 or higher is requested.

Technology Submission Process

There are three ways to submit your technology for consideration:

  • Quad chart (see additional instructions below
  • Company pitch deck
  • Technology capabilities statement

Please choose the format that works best for you and submit to the SWMAC. Please also include video footage of your technology in action. Submissions can be sent as an email attachment to solutions@swmac.org.
