Description
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving white papers and full proposals in support of the development of an advanced power system architecture. This system, consisting of controls, power conversion, and energy storage, will modify and condition the transient power demand profile of shipboard mission loads to ensure compatibility with ship service power generating system capabilities for present and future Navy ship applications. This BAA call will be awarded under the FY25 ONR Long Range BAA N0001425SB001. Please read the latest Amendment before submitting white papers/proposals.
