MARITIME APPLIED PHYSICS CORPORATION — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: N04-044
MARITIME APPLIED PHYSICS CORPORATION — SBIR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
Phase II SBIR 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 $3,006,590, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Topic code N04-044 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
The proposed effort will convert and existing air-dropped GARC hull and its mission elements from gasoline waterjet propulsion (Mercury Optimax) to unmanned diesel outdrive propulsion. This conversion will require: incorporation of a diesel engine and outdrive, hull internal structural changes to enable mounting of the engine and outdrive, exhaust and cooling system changes to accommodate the diesel engine, fuel system changes, and engine/steering control system interfaces between the existing control system and the new engine and outdrive. The work will include the onboard HM&E electronic interface systems (e.g., CAN bus) necessary to interface with an autonomy system such as Caracas or MOCU.
