Navy Solicits Industry for Unmanned Ground Vehicle Architecture
- On May 20, 2025, the Department of the Navy issued a solicitation seeking services to create an open-source framework for systems involving unmanned ground vehicles .
- This solicitation follows the Marine Corps' ongoing requirement for multi-purpose UGV platforms aimed at supporting logistics, sensing, communications, and ISR missions.
- Lt. Scott Humr explained the Corps will buy UGVs incrementally, test them, gather feedback, and improve versions quickly while relying heavily on software capabilities.
- The contract, expected to be awarded by June 1, 2025, spans through December 31, 2027, and aims to acquire modular sensor and payload development services with a firm fixed price.
- This effort reflects a shift toward integrating robotic systems to reduce Marine workload, enhance operational safety, and support evolving defense technology needs.
