On September 18, the U.S. Navy issued a Special Notice to announce the Department of Navy Rapid Capabilities Office (DONRCO) Disruptor Days. The event will take place on November 30 in San Diego, CA.
The purpose of this event is to provide industry access to unique Government assets (test ranges, Labs, equipment, data) to support the development of mission-critical solutions.
This initiative explicitly highlights a strategic partnership between Portfolio Acquisition Executive Mission Systems (PAE MS) and Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). PAE MS will serve as the primary evaluators, and the ONI will be actively involved throughout the planning, evaluation, and review process to ensure solutions meet rigorous operational demands.
Globally significant maritime chokepoints present dense, asymmetrical, and highly dynamic threat environments. To address these operational challenges, the DONRCO seeks to identify and evaluate commercial data and technologies capable of performing rapid data fusion and multi-sensor correlation to support real-time Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA).
The Department of the Navy (DON) needs to detect, locate, identify, and track all maritime vessels. The DON needs data solutions that can follow all types of vessels, from cooperative ships that report their location (self-reporting vessels) to non-cooperative “dark targets” that try to hide their positions. Dark targets may be involved in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, illicit drug trafficking, illegal arms trafficking, terrorism activities, or piracy.
The DON is interested in novel data sources and analytics tools that can plug into and enhance the DON’s unclassified MDA tool, called SeaVision (https://info.seavision.volpe.dot.gov/). This event will experiment with novel combinations of data and analytics tools to demonstrate improvements in analytical MDA results by showing: the direct output of vessel positions, types, and predicted tracks.
