Delphinus Prototype Innovator NETWORX
Thursday, March 3 | 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM ET
The Department of the Navy (DoN) is seeking prototype support in maritime systems of expendable unmanned systems with subsystem integration.
Unmanned systems and commercial components are becoming commonplace and readily
available for a multitude of applications. Candidate component technologies that are
available for design and integration to satisfy ONR’s vehicle requirement include currently
available vehicle housing materials, batteries, controllers, interfaces, and best practices.
It is expected that current high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) or Commercial Off The
Shelf (COTS) material designs may meet some technical objectives, but will require varying
levels of modifications to:
• Mechanical design and housing (e.g., containment, pressure rating, sealant and water tightness, and deployment mechanism)
• Electrical design (e.g., power density for battery operation, controller for subsystems and health status, and on/off/sleep functionality)
• Modularity and integration (e.g., incorporation of RF subsystems and antennas)
• Hardening/ruggedization for a maritime application

S2MARTS & NSTXL
NSTXL combines industry best practices with our government contracting expertise to create a space where government and industry work together with speed, flexibility, and reduced risk.
The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division and the Department of Defense (DoD) created the Strategic and Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) OTA. The S2MARTS OTA (pronounced “SMARTS”) is designed to refine strategies, management planning activities, and implement integrated, complementary solutions that enable broader Department of Defense (DoD) access to commercial state-of-the-art EMS technologies, advanced microelectronics, radiation-hardened (RAD-HARD) and strategic missions hardware.
