- Description
- 14-RFI-0002 In its pursuit of enhanced and unmatched agility, lethality, mobility, and survivability for the future expeditionary forces, ONR Code 30 is seeking information from US and non-US sources to identify new concepts, areas of research and approaches to provide non-conventional 3-dimensional mobility of a Marine during Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT), conventional theaters of operation, open field terrain, and littoral areas. There is a need for new and novel transportation concepts to provide the warfighter with superior combat and tactical mobility in three-dimensions (2D-planar and vertical) with which to gain access to restricted or denied areas and terrain. The concepts of interest are those that currently do not exist as a system or technique, but rather are new phenomenon or technological advances that may produce new 3-D mobility capabilities in 2 to 10 years. Concepts do not necessarily need to be complete systems. They may be discoveries or research that has the potential of overcoming the challenges of three-dimensional mobility for vehicle systems. The concepts that enable this capability can include, but are not limited to, non air powered vertical lift and propulsion methods, advanced lightweight materials, and high power dense systems. The concepts that enable this capability should focus on three-dimensional mobility of 1 to 2 Marines per mechanism. ONR 30 is also seeking information from US and non-US sources to identify new concepts, areas of research and approaches to increasing dismounted Marine mobility in a 2D-planar or 3-D mission environment. There is a need for new and novel mobility concepts to provide the warfighter with superior combat and tactical mobility in dismounted environments. The concepts of interest are those that currently do not exist as a system or technique, but rather are new phenomenon or technological advances that may produce revolutionary dismounted mobility capabilities in 2 to 10 years. The concepts that enable this capability can include, but are not limited to, managing warfighter material loads, providing environmental protection and conditioning, enhancing warfighter traversing speeds and/or agility, power, and computing capabilities, and may be in the form of an exoskeleton. These concepts should focus on serving one Marine per mechanism
