Speed Matters! So do relevant capabilities with demonstrative results… We’re thrilled to share the results of an exciting demonstration at Mission Bay South Shores in San Diego this past week! NavalX collaborated with ANELLO Photonics, Seasats, and IQT (In-Q-Tel) to showcase the Seasats Lightfish USV equipped with ANELLO X3 Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU), navigating successfully without GPS. This cutting-edge technology represents a significant leap forward in maritime navigation for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), enabling them to perform essential missions in GPS-denied environments. The integration of the ANELLO X3 IMU into the Seasats platform provides a cost-effective, reliable solution for our warfighters, enhancing their operational capabilities in even the most challenging conditions. Huge thanks to Task Force 59, ANELLO Photonics, Seasats, and In-Q-Tel for the amazing teamwork that made this demo possible. From problem identification to operational deployment in just 15 months, this project exemplifies the power of collaboration and innovation at speed. A special shoutout to Kirstin Schauble, Walter Stockwell, and Mario Paniccia from ANELLO Photonics; Mike Flanigan, MacKenzie Wasson, and crew from Seasats; Allegra R., Peter Walsh, Abi Sivananthan, and Kate Baldwin from IQT (In-Q-Tel) along with Holli Foster from Task Force 59, for their leadership and dedication to success. “It’s been a huge honor to work with the NavalX team to rapidly develop and deliver our GPS-denied navigation solution to the US Navy. The strategic guidance from NavalX helped accelerate the integration of our solutions onto platforms, enabling their operation in challenging environments without reliance on GPS.” – ANELLO Photonics It’s such an exciting time for us to support our #Fleet and #Force customers! #MakeItMatter Hon.

The London Tech Bridge hosted a workshop on immersive technologies aimed at gaining insight and sharing knowledge across industry, academia, and government. Sponsored by Office of Naval Research Global (ONR Global) Experimentation & Analysis group, the study leads (RAND) gathered a diverse group of experts to examine current technologies, limiting factors, and establish where defense funding should be applied going forward in this rapidly developing area. #bettertogether Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) NavalX Jaimie Roylance OBE Chester Butterworth Daniel Weil Faith Oluwaremi Joel Uzarski Andy Berner (Derrick) Marcus Tepaske Scott Bewley Noam Oz Jeffrey Brewer Marc Christino BMNT

Funding opportunity alert! Are you ready for the challenge? The Department of the Navy (DoN) Catapult Challenge topics are in Pre-release through the DoD 25.4 (Release 1) SBIR Broad Agency Announcement. Catapult Challenge?topics solicit Phase II proposals to identify existing SBIR prototype technology that can inform scaling decisions and meet priority operational needs. The funding announcement includes four Catapult Challenge topics from two of the Navy's SYSCOMs: Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and Strategic Systems Programs (SSP). More information related to the Catapult Challenge, including specific areas of need a is available at https://lnkd.in/eRcR4ctW Ask Me Anything?(AMA) Virtual Session The Navy will host a virtual "Ask Me Anything?(AMA)" session dedicated to the Catapult Challenge on Wednesday, October 16 at 1:00 PM ET.?Registration is required to participate in the AMA. To register, please visit https://lnkd.in/eTp2d-Cd About the Navy SBIR/STTR Programs The DoN SBIR/STTR programs provide opportunities for domestic small businesses and start-ups to deliver solutions to meet naval needs through Federal Research/Research and Development (R/R&D). These competitive awards-based programs advance innovations through three phases with an aim toward transitioning the resulting technologies to the Fleet and Force and commercialization in private markets.

Hours before Hurricane Helene made landfall, #NIWCAtlantic engineers wrapped up a highly successful Hybrid Fleet Campaign 2024 (HFC24) event down in Key West! Read all about it, see additional photos here: https://lnkd.in/gZZZ4yxv Sponsored by U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command/U.S. 4th Fleet, the weeklong at-sea experiment took place in Key West Harbor both ashore and aboard the expeditionary fast transport USNS Burlington (T-EPF-10). During HFC24, NIWC Atlantic assessed how emerging communications capabilities could integrate with unmanned air/surface/underwater systems in a future hybrid fleet. Near the end of the event, Vice Adm. Alvin Holsey, @United States Southern Command military deputy commander, visited the USNS Burlington on Sept. 25 to engage with technology owners from government and industry who had spent a week experimenting. The hybrid fleet is a Joint Warfighting Concept and strategic naval objective designed to deter and defeat any enemy through the integration and scaling of unmanned platforms to the fleet level.
