AI Contract Overview
The Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Newport is conducting monthly Mastery of the Seas Office Hours to engage industry partners in advancing its strategic vision for undersea warfare capabilities. These events, held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, provide a platform for Subject Matter Experts to discuss key focus areas such as Platform Defense and Survivability, Subsea and Seabed Warfare, and Undersea Robotic and Autonomous Systems. Industry participants can attend in person at NUWC Building 80, Conference Room 208, or virtually via Microsoft Teams, but mandatory pre-registration is required by the Friday prior to each event through submission of a registration form to maria.f.gregory.civ@us.navy.mil. Each registration must be completed individually for every session, and participants will receive a new Microsoft Teams link shortly before each event. These office hours are designated as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) events with strict security protocols—no landline phones are permitted, and the access link cannot be shared externally. Attending parties must log in as guests using the provided link, and marketing activities or materials are strictly prohibited. While attendance is free, all costs associated with participation are borne by the industry responder, and no government payment or compensation is guaranteed for any information submitted. The government retains the right to use responses without obligation, and non-participation does not disqualify future involvement. Future events may be subject to cancellation or substitution, as seen with the September 1, 2026 session, which has been replaced by participation in the Defense Innovation Days hosted by SENEDIA. Questions should be submitted in advance or during the event, and monitoring SeaPort is the responsibility of interested parties for updated information. Primary contact for registration and inquiries is Maria Gregory, with secondary support from Matthew Halligan.
