The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is seeking white papers and full proposals under BAA Call N0001426SBC01 to develop a Transient Reducing Active Power System (TRAPS). The objective is to create an advanced power system architecture comprising controls, power conversion, and energy storage designed to smooth transient power demand profiles of shipboard mission loads. This ensures compatibility with Navy ship power generating systems and adherence to MIL-STD-1399 Section 300 standards. The research focuses on applied research at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 3-4, with the goal of maturing the design to a TRL 5/6 or greater operational prototype. Key performance metrics include an average operating power of 650 kW/2.6MW and a minimum usable energy storage life of 6 to 10 years under continuous usage. ONR intends to fund multiple contracts for the base program, with individual base awards generally not exceeding 2.5 million dollars, though proposals with varying cost ranges will be considered. The base period of performance is two years, with an optional phase for the detailed design of a full-scale prototype. Proposals are evaluated based on the technical concept, operational naval concept, utility assessment plans, and the offeror's capabilities and experience. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents eligible to work under Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) requirements. White papers must be submitted via the ONR Submission Portal by July 17, 2026, with full proposals recommended by September 25, 2026. Other-than-small businesses are required to provide a subcontracting plan.
