About this opportunity
Navy STTR topic — Accepting submissions 2026-12-02 to 2027-01-06. A major remaining hurdle with marine species management is to know if, and when, measurable short-term behavioral and/or physiological responses of marine species to sound exposure results in biologically significant or meaningful effects on individuals and/or their populations. Advances in UAS methods and technology present unprecedented opportunities to improve the capacity to collect this robust data with minimal disturbance to marine species. However, while UAS methods have led to significant advances in our understanding of marine species’ behavior, health, and body condition, thus far many obstacles remain including cost, flight duration, size, and image resolution. This STTR topic seeks to develop a compact, inexpens...
