The Department of Defense, specifically the Navy, is seeking innovative solutions through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop a Directional Wave Spectra Sensing Module for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Gliders. The primary objective is to create a low-power, fully integrated sensor capable of measuring directional wave spectra from ocean gliders, which are crucial for understanding sea state and enhancing maritime safety. This technology is expected to improve the Navy's operational capabilities and can also benefit NOAA for better forecasting of wave conditions affecting commercial fishing and public safety. The solicitation is currently closed, with the next phase opening on May 15, 2024, and applications due by June 12, 2024.
