- Description
- AIRWorks MSAR Technology Demonstration INDUSTRY DAY ANNOUNCEMENT U.S. Navy Maritime Search and Rescue UAS Description:� The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) AIRWorks, in collaboration with the Unmanned Task Force and in support of PMA-263, plans to conduct an Industry Day.� This is to provide further information concerning the Request for Information for the AIRWorks MSAR Technology Demonstration released on 12 January 2022, at SAM.Gov: http://go.usa.gov/xtBru.� As stated in the RFI, AIRWorks intends to accelerate the identification and evaluation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) capable of performing wide-area Maritime Search and Rescue (MSAR) missions from a surface vessel.� The team is especially interested in systems that do not require dedicated launch and recovery equipment, and can perform at long ranges for extended periods while relaying accurate rescue/relevant location information to the host vessel. More specifically, the team is interested in locating personnel adrift, downed airliners (e.g., finding debris, oil slicks, beacons), ships in distress, or other incidents at sea, through a variety of technologies (e.g., Artificial Intelligence (AI), Electro-optic, Infrared (EO/IR), Full Motion Video (FMV), Maritime Wide-Area Search (MWAS), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and Electronic Sensing (ES)). �Upon discovery of applicable Point of Interests (POI), the team is also interested in the relaying of data in a timely manner to the Command and Control (C2) parent in conditions in which Satellite Communications (SATCOM) may not be available. NAWCAD will sponsor an at-sea technology demonstration in summer 2022.� This will be part of a multi-phased merit-based selection process for the potential award of an Other Transaction (OT) prototype project under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2371b. Date/Location: The Industry Day will be held on 26 January 2022 at 1:00 PM EST.� This industry day will be virtual and only accessible via Zoom for Government. There will be no in-person participation.� Register at: https://www.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/6116426244410/WN_8ravJZs4R9unENeBIbWaoQ.
