Problem Statement Description

Identification Number: FMP-NNL-0028

Title: Remotely Operated Vehicle for the Inspection and Repair of Ship Structures - Request for Proposal Problem Statement U.S. Navy vessels require periodic dry dock sessions where repairs, preventative maintenance, and modernization are performed to keep ships seaworthy. Part of this inspection and maintenance process is performed within onboard fluid tanks where human inspection and repair bear a high financial cost and an onerous labor challenge due to labyrinthine tank layouts.To improve dry dock efficiency and improve the safety posture, overhaul facilities must be able to supplement human-performed maintenance functions with remote and/or autonomous capabilities. Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) solutions are being sought for the inspection and repair of the ship structures.

BackgroundThe metal housing of these fluid tanks corrodes slowly over its lifespan and presently receives time-based maintenance via human entry for visual inspection and measurement of paint system health, cracks, and corrosion/pitting. After draining the tanks, a worker transits through a small horizontal portal (18” x 18” circle or 15” x 23” oval), then navigates many tall, partitioned bays both horizontally and vertically through portals of the same small size. This task takes hundreds of hours to assess and many more hours for inspector concurrence. Preparation and execution for paint and welding repair then requires arduous ventilation setup and equipment movement.

Desired CapabilitiesSolutions are being sought for commercially proven ROV technologies that may accomplish all, or parts, of the following:1. Routine inspection and defect categorization of internal ship structures to assess repair necessity

2. Defect repair
