USSOCOM PEO-Maritime Multi-terrain Maintenance Trolley Assessment Event

Friday, October 4th, 2024

SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM PEO-Maritime (PEO-M) Undersea, will host an assessment event to explore industry’s interest and ability to design, develop and support a multiple surface maintenance and support trolley for the Dry Combat Submersible (DCS) program.

PEO-M Undersea, in conjunction with other Government stakeholders is seeking a multiple terrain maintenance and support trolley for the DCS program. This effort will require design, development, manufacture, documentation, training, and support of the trolley.

As a part of the DCS support equipment, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) developed and delivered a maintenance trolley that is suitable for use in a flat, level factory floor environment. Due to the range of operational locations anticipated for the DCS, PEO-M Undersea and the Integrated Maintenance Depot Section (IMDS) team at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek (JEBLC), are seeking a design that will provide similar maintenance and support capabilities but will be able to operate in an environment of rough surfaces that may be expected in deployment areas.

Detailed requirements will be provided as an attachment to this notice, but the general requirements include:

– Provide access and support capabilities similar to existing OEM system

– Be air, land, and sea transportable (without the DCS on-board)

– Be able to operate on rough and uneven terrain that may be expected in forward operating environments with the DCS loaded

– It is desired to be able to perform or support ramp launch and recovery of the DCS

– It is desired to be able to be self-propelled and/or be transported with its prime mover in all conditions

Submit NLT 15 November 2024 11:59 PM ET.

French Navy’s Camcopter S-100 Squadron Secures WATERS During the Olympic Games 2024

Tuesday, August 13th, 2024

Vienna, 12 August 2024 – The 2024 Olympic Games were held in France this year with the French Navy CAMCOPTER® S-100 Unmanned Air System (UAS) Squadron securing the waters around Marseille for the Olympic events.

The CAMCOPTER® S-100 are stationed on board the French Navy’s Flottille 36F in Var, and monitored the vicinity of the Olympic Games, a total of 22,500 nautical square miles. Flying from Saint-Mandrier (Var), the S-100s provided the authorities with real-time data of the maritime area towards Marseille, where a number of sailing, kitesurfing and windsurfing events took place.

While conducting these operations, the S-100 was equipped with a high performance EO/IR camera and an Automatic Identification System (AIS) to monitor and detect any suspicious activities at sea.

“It is an honour that the French Navy utilised their S-100 Squadron to monitor the surroundings of the Olympic Games. This is another great use case for the CAMCOPTER® and shows the versatility of applications and capabilities“, said Lubos Sramek, Director of Schiebel Aéronaval SAS in Toulon.

GA-ASI SeaGuardian Featured Again at RIMPAC

Friday, July 26th, 2024

U.S. Navy Rim of Pacific Exercise Is World’s Largest Maritime ExerciseSAN DIEGO – 23 July 2024 – An MQ-9B SeaGuardian® Unmanned Aircraft System from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is once again supporting the U.S. Navy during its Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise, this time for RIMPAC 2024. RIMPAC 2024, the world’s largest international maritime exercise, started on July 8, 2024, and continues operations through the month in areas throughout Hawaii.

GA-ASI’s SeaGuardian is a maritime derivative of the MQ-9B SkyGuardian® and remains the first UAS that offers multi-domain Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISR&T) as an internal payload that can search the ocean’s surface and depths in support of Fleet Operations. SeaGuardian is also providing real-time ISR data feeds to the U.S. Pacific Fleet Command Center using advanced long-range targeting capabilities, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) parametrics, Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) acoustic and tracking data, and full-motion video to the watch floor and intelligence centers as well as to surface, air, and subsurface exercise participants for real-time dynamic tasking and targeting in support of cooperative kill-chain execution.

SeaGuardian arrived at RIMPAC 2024 with more than 8,000 hours flown showcasing all operational payloads, which includes the SeaVue Multi-role radar from Raytheon, an RTX business, SNC’s Electronic Support Measures (EMS) solution, as well as an Automatic Identification System (AIS), and a self-contained ASW. This year, GA-ASI is introducing its Sonobuoy Dispensing System, demonstrating the deployment of A-size sonobuoys from a UAS for monitor and control. Additional SeaGuardian capabilities include a GA-ASI-developed Lynx® Multi-mode Maritime Radar, a high-definition Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) imaging system, and Link 16.

SeaGuardian’s multi-domain capabilities allows it to flex from mission to mission and pass real-time sensor data directly to the Fleet through Link 16 and satellite feeds to the shore-based command and intelligence centers. During RIMPAC, the MQ-9B is effectively passing ISR&T information to various surface and air units, such as the Nimitz-class carrier USS CARL VINSON,Guided Missile Destroyers (DDG), Littoral Combat Ships (LCS), frigates, patrol boats, P-8s, P-3s, and numerous other U.S. and foreign units taking part in the exercise.

Naval Special Warfare, Submarine Squadron 11 Display Fleet Lethality

Saturday, July 20th, 2024

PACIFIC OCEAN — West Coast-based Naval Special Warfare (NSW) operators participated in fleet interoperability training off the coast of Southern California June 24, focusing on increasing warfighting capabilities in the maritime domain.

The training involved aircraft from Commander, U.S. Naval Air Forces and the Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS Greeneville (SSN 772), assigned to Commander Submarine Squadron 11 (CSS-11).

“This training opportunity provided the submarine warfighters aboard USS Greeneville the opportunity to practice a unique capability,” said Capt. Kenneth Douglas, Commander, Submarine Squadron 11. “Expanding joint interoperability capabilities effectively demonstrates our asymmetric advantage on and under the world’s oceans and I look forward to continued training events with our Naval Special Warfare operators.”

During the training, Naval Special Warfare (NSW) operators performed a military freefall and conducted an airborne drop of combat rubber raiding crafts (CRRC) off the coast of Southern California. Following this, the NSW operators rendezvoused with Greeneville at a designated location before returning to shore.

“Undertaking an operation of this caliber highlights the indispensable role that NSW and the submarine force play within the joint force,” said Capt. Blake L. Chaney, Commander, Naval Special Warfare Group 1. “By synchronizing our operations, activities and investments, we not only bolster fleet lethality but also provide substantial value in securing access to either denied or contested areas.”

Engaging in ongoing training with Naval Special Warfare and Commander Submarine Squadron 11, ensures that the U.S. Naval force is well-prepared to tackle the challenges of a dynamic and competitive maritime environment.

CSS-11 is home to five Los Angeles-class fast attack submarines, which are capable of supporting various missions, including: anti-submarine warfare; anti-ship warfare; strike warfare; and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.

Naval Special Warfare is the nation’s elite maritime special operations force, uniquely positioned to extend the Fleet’s reach and gain and maintain access for the Joint Force in competition and conflict.
