Advanced Systems/Supportability Engineering Technologies And Tools, Inc. — Department of Defense STTR Phase II: N05-149
Advanced Systems/Supportability Engineering Technologies And Tools, Inc. — STTR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
Phase II STTR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where Department of Defense funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
- Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
- At $6,098,759, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Topic code N05-149 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
The S-351 mini-sub is a prototype of the Dry Combat Submersible (DCS). This prototype was established as a means of risk reduction prior to a full commitment to the DCS program. Both of these platforms have an operational need to transit with minimum operator fatigue safely to a pre-defined point and covertly deploy and retrieve SEALS. To meet these operational needs, these platforms require upgrades in the areas of situational awareness, human computer collaboration, autopilot, and mid-water-column lock in/lock out. ASSETT has assembled a highly experienced team which includes ASSETT, Draper Lab, and John Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab to provide these improvements. These improvements will be provided as a part of a four block effort with each block providing SOCOM with significant improvement in platform performance. The Block 1 effort addresses situational awareness, human computer collaboration and the algorithm development for vehicle control.
