On behalf of Commander, Naval Surface Force (CNSF), Naval Surface and Mine Warfighting Development Center (SMWDC), via the Surface Requirements Group (SURFRG), is offering an opportunity for commercial companies to present material solutions to top U.S. Navy Surface Warfare Tactical Challenges on 13-14 November, 2024 at SMWDC Headquarters in San Diego, CA.
If your company has a potential solution and is interested in briefing it to the SURFRG panel, please contact our team at SURFRG_info@us.navy.mil for a solution paper template. Solution papers can be submitted at the unclassified or classified level (up to SECRET) no later than 6 November.
All solution papers will be reviewed for impact to the Tactical Challenge, maturity of the technology, and feasibility/executability of the solution (can it be seen and touched). If your solution is selected for presentation to the panel, you will be assigned a time slot and given additional instructions. Solution papers may be presented in person or virtually (up to SECRET). Solutions demonstrating high capability in solving a Surface Warfare Tactical Challenge will be passed to Navy Program Offices for further evaluation.
We look forward to hearing from interested companies and possibly meeting with you in November. Please send any questions to SURFRG_info@us.navy.mil.
