“Hybrid” Qualification Demonstration: Mobile and Stationary Sensors

Join us for a prize challenge “Qualifying Demonstration” featuring cutting-edge mobile and stationary sensor technologies designed for high-resolution monitoring of underwater and surface environments. These advanced systems enhance situational awareness near critical infrastructure through anomaly detection and support multi-domain integration by fusing data from diverse vessels and sensor networks. Stationary sensor arrays capable of tracking underwater threats will also be highlighted.

Selected NETB prize challenge applicants will be invited to present their innovations during this hybrid event. Each participant will have 15 minutes to showcase their technology’s capabilities and mission relevance, followed by up to 10 minutes of Q&A with a panel of subject matter experts from the US Navy, DoD, and other federal, academic, and non-profit organizations.

Companies with top-scoring technologies will be awarded approximately $7,500 and will be invited to participate in the culminating in-water experiment event on 28 August 2025. Up to four companies with top-scoring technologies will be awarded a total of $200,000 at the BlueTIDE 2025 event. For more information on BlueTIDE 2025, click here.

Observers can register to attend in person or virtually, with the opportunity to engage during the Q&A session as time permits.

Stay tuned—more details and the event agenda will be shared soon.
