Timeline
    Description

    The Department of Energy, specifically the Fluor Marine Propulsion office, is seeking technical proposals for the development of touch screen tactile enhancements aimed at improving training for Navy sailors. The objective is to address the limitations of current touch screen-based training panels, which lack the tactile feedback and muscle memory associated with traditional physical panels, while still benefiting from lower costs and maintenance requirements. This initiative is crucial for maintaining operational fleet readiness, as effective training tools are essential for simulating real hardware interactions. Interested parties should submit their proposals to Jon Ruffley at Jonathan.Ruffley@unnpp.gov by the specified deadline to be considered for this opportunity.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF NAVAL POWER AND ENERGY SYSTEMS (Combined Synopsis/Solicitation DEPT OF DEFENSE DEPT OF THE NAVY) The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy, is seeking research and development proposals for naval power and energy systems. These systems are crucial for providing power and energy to Navy ships, both current and future, at various levels including major components, subsystems, and the overall system. The goal is to advance and improve shipboard electric power and energy systems. The Electric Ships Office, part of the Program Executive Office Ships, is leading this effort on behalf of the Navy. They are interested in long and short term research and development projects that have the potential to enhance ship power systems. The focus areas include shipboard power generation, electric propulsion, power conversion, energy storage, distribution and control, power quality, continuity, and system stability. The Navy is particularly interested in technologies that can improve energy efficiency, power density, and carbon footprint compared to existing propulsion and power system technologies. They are also looking for advancements in energy storage, power conversion, power distribution, prime movers (including power generation), rotating machines (including generators and propulsion motors), cooling and thermal management, power controls, and system interplay, interfacing, and integration. Proposals must be submitted in the form of White Papers, and awards may take the form of contracts, cooperative agreements, or other transaction agreements. The Navy reserves the right to select proposals and award contracts based on the evaluation criteria specified in the announcement. For more information and to submit White Papers, interested parties can contact Joseph Tannenbaum at joseph.tannenbaum@navy.mil or John Anderson at john.anderson6@navy.mil. This is a great opportunity for researchers and developers to contribute to the advancement of naval power and energy systems, ultimately enhancing the capabilities of Navy ships.
