About this opportunity
Navy STTR topic — Accepting submissions 2026-12-02 to 2027-01-06. Unmanned surface and undersea vehicles need regular recharging, and since they often operate far from human contact, their charging systems require a reliable, self-sustaining power source. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) believes the ideal power source will be a wave energy capture device (WECD). WECDs capture kinetic and potential energy generated by the movement of ocean waves on or near the surface of open water. The desired WECD must be portable, specifically, designed as a set of components that can each be carried by one or two people who must be able to quickly assemble and disassemble those components. Components designed for one-person carry should weigh no more than 14 kg with largest dimension no greater than...
