Areté is developing REMORA, an external payload deployment system for cylindrical UUVs. REMORA provides UUVs a low-cost means to attach and deploy exterior payloads without any hull modifications, limited impact to vehicle performance, and minimal integration. Modular components allow REMORA to mount to most UUVs and carry a variety of sub-sea payloads. ?? Watch this tech talk to learn how REMORA can benefit the #USNavy: https://lnkd.in/eJaehzBp

Today we are featuring the Office of Naval Research (ONR) as part of the Navy SBIR/STTR SYSCOMs Series! ONR plans, fosters, and encourages scientific research in recognition of its paramount importance as related to the maintenance of future naval power, and the preservation of national security through partnerships with academia, industry, and government. The Department of the Navy’s investment in technology priorities is driven by SYSCOM-unique mission needs and requirements which are issued as topics and align with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Research & Engineering Modernization Priorities. ONR technology priorities and focus areas include: Advanced Materials, Biotechnology, Directed Energy (DE), FutureG, Human-Machine Interfaces, Hypersonics, Integrated Network Systems-of-Systems, Integrated Sensing and Cyber, Microelectronics, Nuclear, Quantum Science, Renewable Energy Generation and Storage, Space Technology, Sustainment, Trusted AI and Autonomy.
