Navy planning medium UUV solicitation

The Navy plans to issue a solicitation for a medium unmanned undersea vehicle geared toward mine countermeasures and collecting oceanographic data, according to a Sept. 12 Federal Business Opportunities notice.

An industry day is also planned for later this year.

"The purpose of this industry day is for the government to brief interested contractors in order to improve industry's understanding of the MUUV prototyping requirement and anticipated contracting approach," the notice states.

A final request for proposals is expected in fiscal year 2020.
