Active

Contract Opportunity

1.0 Summary

Commander Naval Magazine Indian Island (NMII) is seeking demonstrations from qualified vendors of advanced technologies capable of detecting, identifying, and tracking a variety of threats across air, land, and maritime domains. This notification solicits demonstrations to assess system performance in a realistic operational environment and evaluate suitability for integration with existing personnel and infrastructure.

2.0 Scope

This opportunity seeks demonstrations of systems that can:

• Detect: Identify and locate uncrewed systems (UxS), land (human walkers), and sea-going (small boats/kayaks) contacts.

• Operate: Be effectively operated and managed by currently billeted personnel at NMII. Ease of use and integration with existing systems are critical.


• Adapt: Demonstrate the ability to mitigate performance limitations caused by terrain features (shadow zones) through alternative system configurations or complementary technologies.

3.0 Demonstration Details

• Location: Port Hadlock-Irondale, Washington


• Date: To Be Announced
