CLASS ACT - Sensors and effectors countering unmanned system in maritime environments

**Topic Area Description** Adversaries threaten ports, harbors, naval forces, and other critical maritime infrastructure with the use of unmanned systems that operate underwater, on the surface, or in the air. These systems may be tethered, programmed, and hardened to prevent detection or interference.
DIU is expanding the availability of TS-cleared nontraditional defense contractors that provide sensors (passive and active) and effectors to defeat adversarial unmanned systems (UxV) in and around maritime environments.
Of specific interest are capabilities or technologies for long-range (60km+) passive detection across domains and UxV sizes, assured active detection and tracking of swarms (100s of UxVs at distances greater than 5km) across domains and UxV sizes (with emphasis on Group 3 systems), and effectors that lower the cost per kill compared to currently available systems.
**Eligibility Requirements** This list is not exhaustive and offerors should refer to the Bridge Program CLASS ACT Solicitation HQ084526SC002 on sam.gov (Do not refer to Defense Innovation Unit Commercial Solutions Opening)
Must not have a current or previously held facility clearance
Must qualify as nontraditional defense contractor
Must offer a sensor or effector
Solution must be TRL 7+ (prototype demonstrated in operational environment)
Raised at least $10m in equity financing
Booked annual revenue of $2,000,000+, not backed by adversarial capital
Key management personnel (as defined by DCSA) must be U.S. Citizens
