SOFWERX and the USSOCOM Program Executive Office Maritime (PEO-M) are hosting the Poseidon’s Fury Collaboration Event to accelerate the development of the Unmanned Surface Vehicle Mission-Aligned Reference Architecture (MARA), a standards-based framework designed to improve interoperability across Joint Force manned and unmanned maritime systems while eliminating redundant, service-specific platform development. This initiative is open exclusively to U.S. persons and involves a two-phase process beginning with a virtual collaboration event on August 26, 2026, where SOF operators and industry partners will engage in breakout sessions to define operational needs around user interface, autonomy, command and control, and platform effectiveness. Participation in this event is optional but strongly encouraged to align solutions with warfighter requirements, with registration closing August 14, 2026. Those who do not attend the CE may still submit capabilities for consideration during the Assessment Event, which opens on September 14, 2026, and closes October 2, 2026. A virtual Q&A session is available on September 23 for clarification on technical expectations. Selected submissions will undergo a downselect process, with winners invited to participate in a comprehensive on-water Assessment Event at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, between November 2 and 20, 2026. Participants must demonstrate their USV capabilities in real-world conditions, with evaluations conducted by Subject Matter Experts from USSOCOM, JHU APL, WARCOM, and MARSOC using predefined technical and operational criteria. Successful performers may be transitioned to Phase 5, where potential pathways for follow-on acquisition include Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs) under 10 U.S.C. §4022, research agreements under 15 U.S.C. §3715, cooperative R&D agreements, experimental procurement under §4023, or prize competitions—potentially leading to non-competitive production awards based on successful prototype outcomes. All awardees must comply with NIST SP 800-171 for securing Controlled Unclassified Information, and eligibility is limited to U.S. persons and organizations capable of supporting USSOCOM’s unique maritime missions.
