Description
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to award a 'C' type contract with options for services, testing, technical assistance, integration, engineering service, and software support of the Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) for the AN/AQS-20 program. NAVSEA intends to award the sole source contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGC) in Annapolis, MD.
The estimated total value of the contract, including all options, is $5, 275, 000.00. The period of performance is estimated to begin in July of Fiscal Year 2026 and end in Fiscal Year 2030.
Background & Scope:
The AN/AQS-20 systems will satisfy the U.S. Navy-s need for a wide-area reconnaissance system capable of detecting and classifying surface and near-surface moored mines. This system supports the global superiority of the U.S. Navy by countering enemy-laid mines to permit friendly maneuver or use of selected sea areas.
The NGC Generalized ATR (GATR) team develops the AN/AQS-20 Multi-Forward Side Look Sonar (MFSLS) GATR interfaces. This includes the direct integration of available algorithms into the overarching GATR infrastructure. The NGC team conducts continuous development and training of the MineHunter (MH) algorithm, specifically optimized for the AN/AQS-20 Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) imagery. Furthermore, the GATR team handles system integration, systems engineering, software development, tool development, and system productization to develop, test, and implement algorithm fusion capability. NGC also interfaces with parallel developments from other Government partners and Contractors to support the complete AN/AQS-20 post-mission analysis (PMA) effort.
