- Description
- The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, in support of the Naval Sea Systems Command, announces an Industry Information Day for the Large Displacement Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (LDUUV) System. The Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (DCNO) for Information Dominance (N2/N6) has identified a need for unmanned undersea vehicles providing persistent Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and offensive capabilities that can offload missions from other platforms. The LDUUV System is envisioned to be an unmanned system that can be transported to and deployed from worldwide port facilities, or carried by and deployed from US Navy platforms such as the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), the Ohio Class Guided Missile Submarine (SSGN), and the Virginia Class Fast Attack Submarine (SSN). The LDUUV System must have sufficient range and endurance to provide the fleet with a capability to autonomously complete missions in the current mission set and expected future missions under development. Industry Information Day will be held on October 16, 2013 and is planned to be an all-day event focused on the LDUUV System projected technical requirements, current assessment of technology maturity, and expected program details. This Industry Information Day will be an information exchange with industry led by the Program Manager for Unmanned Maritime Systems (PMS 406) within the Program Executive Office for Littoral Combat Ship (PEO LCS) organization. This event will be at the SECRET level. Any information provided or discussed by attendees must not be company proprietary or business sensitive information. Any information or ideas shared during this Industry Information Day may be used to develop the LDUUV System technical and acquisition documents. This is NOT a Request for Proposals. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENTS EXIST AT THIS TIME. The government will NOT assume any liability for any contractor expenses for responding to this notice. II.
