The Defense Innovation Unit has released a solicitation for the Combat Autonomous Maritime Platform (CAMP), seeking commercially available, demonstration-ready uncrewed systems that address these limitations, offering a scalable and cost-effective solution for long-range, high-capacity payload deployment. This procurement is using Other Transaction Authority.

Defense Innovation Unit Releases Solicitation for Combat Autonomous Maritime Platform

Northrop Grumman Manta Ray UUV for DARPA.

To maximize operational effectiveness in contested environments, the United States military requires enhanced capabilities for deploying large payloads across extended ranges. Current UUV capabilities present limitations in range and payload capacity, hindering the effective deployment of critical resources in certain operational scenarios.

Desired mission sets include, but are not limited to:

-Emplacement of various sized payloads

-Bathymetric surveys and mapping

-Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance

-Communications across the air/water interface (acoustic and Radio Frequency)

-Ability to operate in a GPS denied environments

Desired Solution Attributes

A candidate platform should have some or all of the following characteristics:

-Exceptional range, capable of transits greater than 1000nm.

-Capable of performing deeper than 200m underwater.

-Modular payload capacity with ability to drop various payloads to the seafloor. Payload sizes include but are not limited to:

–5ft long, 19 inches in diameter

–21ft in length and 21 inches in diameter

-Autonomous operation including navigation, guidance, and obstacle/collision avoidance (including during emergence and at surface), as well as remote operation.

-Capability for RF communications, and capability or demonstrate a pathway for undersea communications.

-Modularity, including the ability to switch from different payloads and mission sets.

-Hardware and software architecture with open interfaces, with a demonstrable pathway to integrate with various third party payloads;

-Demonstrable pathway to integrate with third party control systems, including but not limited to government furnished common control system (CCS).

-Demonstrable pathway for UMAAcompliance.

-Demonstrable pathway to prevent, mitigate, and recover from the effects of tampering or cyber events to achieve an Authorization To Operate in alignment with applicable Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS) recommendations for minimum standards for unmanned national security systems (NSS).

-Be transportable, deployable, and recoverable with commonly available commercial freight and transportation equipment, or demonstrate a development pathway to achieve this.

-Minimize surface expression and duration.

-Include modeling and simulation to inform specific vehicle behaviors and mission operations, or ability to integrate with 3rd party modeling and simulation solutions. 

This project is dedicated to the late Michael Camp, former Deputy Director of Warfare Systems, U.S. Pacific Fleet.
