Our Suitable Warfighting Adaptive Payloads (SWAP-USV) Prize Challenge is now live.
The cost-exchange ratio for detecting and neutralizing asymmetric maritime threats in contested environments is heavily skewed in favor of the adversary. Bad actors deploy low-cost, low-signature threats—including explosive Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs), Group 1–3 Unmanned Aircraft System (UASs), "go-fast" smuggling boats, and semi-submersibles.
DIU and the @DeptofWar seek to partner with established maritime manufacturers, autonomy developers, sensor manufacturers, and UAS developers to execute a multi-phase Prize Challenge under 10 USC 4025 with up to $100M in available funding.
Learn more and apply: diu.mil/work-with-us/submit-…

The submission deadline for this prize challenge has been extended until July 29.
Our Specular MIST Prize Challenge is now live.
DIU, in collaboration with the Department of the Navy Rapid Capabilities Office (DONRCO) and Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, seeks to identify innovative, scalable, and cost-effective solutions to address modern maritime training and operational challenges.
A critical component of this modernization effort is the deployment of autonomous and containerized payloads to generate combat power at speed and scale. This initiative focuses on accelerating the development, prototyping, and production of a portfolio of payloads for integration onto manned and autonomous Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs), providing adaptable, lethal, and decisive advantages in contested maritime environments.
Submissions due by July 22 at 23:59:59 Eastern Time.

The Drone Dominance Program seeks to advance the American drone industry and work toward a wholly domestic sUAS supply chain.
To that end, we have updated the DDP Supply Chain Framework to include a more stringent interpretation of electronic component sourcing, clarify expectations for the location of manufacturing lines for final assembly, and refine sourcing requirements for Ground Control Station subcomponents.
We recognize and applaud the significant investments made to date in new American manufacturing lines using American labor, the expansion of existing domestic manufacturing and partnerships, and the incredible growth in American component and subcomponent supplier production.
