Description

The Department of Defense, specifically the Office of Naval Research, is seeking proposals for the Neutralization In Challenging Environments Using Lethal Effects (NICELE) project. This initiative aims to develop innovative payloads that will enable Explosive Mine Countermeasures (ExMCM) forces to effectively neutralize underwater mines and water-borne improvised explosive devices (WBIEDs) using divers or remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). The technologies developed under this contract are expected to transition into the existing Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Maritime Expeditionary Standoff Response (MESR) program, which is critical for addressing threats in marine environments. Interested parties can reach out to John Lewers at john.d.lewers.civ@us.navy.mil for further details regarding the solicitation.
