AI Contract Overview

This SBIR Phase II contract, titled Self-Driving Convoy Operation (NMESIS), is issued by the Department of the Navy under the USMC SBIR Program. The project focuses on the research and development of safe and reliable leader-follower convoy operations specifically designed for narrow secondary roads, trails, and paths ranging from 8 to 18 feet. A key requirement is the implementation of a user-selectable command within the lead vehicle to activate narrower path operations, aiming to increase transit speeds compared to manual tele-operation of ROGUE-Fires vehicles. The technical execution will involve demonstrations using surrogate vehicles and RTK software as a baseline. While the integration of additional sensors such as RADAR, LIDAR, SONAR, or cameras is permitted, the project emphasizes balancing technical capability with cost and logistical efficiency. The work is categorized under NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, with the place of performance located in Bryan, Texas.

Full Description

SBIR Phase II Innovation Research in accordance with 15 USC 638. This SBIR topic seeks to develop and demonstrate safe and reliable leader/follower convoy operations on secondary roads, trails, and paths narrower than 18 feet, ideally down to 8 feet. The command to utilize a narrower MUL path shall be user selectable by an operator in the Lead Vehicle. It is expected that operation under these conditions will be done at reduced speeds but still faster than having an operator tele-operate the ROGUE-Fires vehicles at walking speed. Demonstration will be performed on surrogate vehicles, utilizing the RTK software as a baseline. Adding additional sensors, such as additional cameras, RADAR/LIDAR, or SONAR is acceptable, but cost and logistical burden will also be considered.
