    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Navy, is seeking innovative solutions through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program for the development of an Augmented Reality (AR) Vehicle Maintenance & Training System. This initiative aims to address the knowledge gap in vehicle maintenance among Marine Corps personnel by creating a prototype AR device that assists maintainers in real-time with tasks such as replacing brake pads, brake disks, fuel filters, and water separators on Ultra Light Tactical Vehicles (ULTVs). The AR system will not only provide visual aids and technical manuals but also enable a live video feed for remote support from Subject Matter Experts, enhancing the training and operational capabilities of the Marine Corps. Interested parties should note that the solicitation is set to open on April 23, 2025, with a closing date of May 21, 2025, and can find more information at the official SBIR website.
