Information is requested regarding system architecture, communication capabilities (including methods for communication with overhead assets and rescue vehicles), and key features such as Low Probability of Detection (LPD), secure communication, submerged operation, ruggedization, and power consumption. Responses should also include company information, relevant experience, facility/security clearances, and CAGE/NAICS codes. This RFI is for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation; no funds are available for response preparation. Responses are due by 4:00 PM on October 17, 2025, and should be submitted via email to christopher.m.woehrer.civ@us.navy.mil.
