PEO-M Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) Poseidon's Fury Assessment Event (AE)
Submit NLT 07 October 2026 11:59 PM ET U.S. Persons Only
Purpose
SOFWERX, in collaboration with U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Program Executive Office-Maritime (PEO-M), will host an assessment event that provides Special Operations Forces (SOF) operators and Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) vendors opportunities for collaboration, hands-on experimentation, and assessment. Data collected during these events will inform development of the USV Mission-Aligned Reference Architecture (MARA).
Background/Synopsis
This effort seeks technologically mature USV platforms aligned to contemporary Design Reference Missions (DRMs) while also gathering data on common platform features, technical trade-offs, and integration opportunities. The data collected will inform MARA with the goal of improving interoperability, accelerating capability integration, and reducing unnecessary cost and redundant platform development across Government and Industry efforts.
Objective
The primary desirement is to assess USV solutions aligned to two DRMs through collaboration and hands-on experimentation with SOF operators and USV vendors:
Escort: A USV able to accompany and support a manned vessel during maritime transit and maneuver, maintain relative position, and contribute to awareness, tracking, response, and defense of a supported vessel. The USV should be configurable for US Navy Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) cradle and davit launch/recovery and modular to accept a wide variety of Government-furnished payloads.
Interceptor: A USV capable of rapid launch and high-speed transit toward a desired area. The USV should be modular to accept a wide variety of Government-furnished payloads. Compatibility with the USSOCOM Universal Launch and Recovery System (ULRS) is desired but not required.
A secondary desirement is to collect technical and operational insight that will inform MARA...
