Experts said that this deployment could lay the foundation for how the Navy develops its concept of operations for unmanned systems.
The agreements with Anduril, CoAspire, Leidos and Zone 5 commence the launch of the new Low Cost Containerization Munitions Program (LCCMP).
With nearly 30,000 copies envisioned, even among a spending spree for munitions, the Air Force’s Family of Affordable Mass Missile stands out.
Leidos and Defense Unicorns will test prototypes in a lab-based environment under the other transaction agreement.
A Navy official said he expects nearly half of all naval surface vessels will be unmanned by 2045.
Convergence of offensive and defensive cyber is reshaping how they're developed, fielded, and integrated.
“We feel like this acquisition moves us in some certain sub-elements of offensive cyber about 18 months forward on what we would have been able to do with our organic investment,” President of Leidos National Security Sector Roy Stevens told Breaking Defense.
The new solicitation broadly outlines what Navy leaders for years have sought from unmanned vehicles: multi-purpose trucks capable of carrying any payload of their choosing.
The Sea Dart starts at around $150,000, a Leidos official told Breaking Defense, and works with various payloads and software packages.
