This is a Broad Agency Announcement seeking white papers for long and short-term R&D projects to advance naval shipboard electric power and energy systems at the component, subsystem, and system levels. The focus areas include energy storage, power conversion, power distribution, prime movers/power generation, rotating machines, cooling/thermal management, power controls, and system integration/interfacing. The Navy is interested in technologies that improve power density, efficiency, reliability, affordability, and integration with future ship platforms, including manned and unmanned systems. White papers are the initial response; only selected offerors will be invited to submit full proposals, and awards may take the form of contracts, cooperative agreements, or other transactions. NAVSEA does not provide reimbursement for white paper or proposal development costs, and all submissions are treated as competition sensitive.

This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) seeks white papers for long and short-term Research and Development (R&D) projects to advance naval shipboard electric power and energy systems, including power generation, conversion, distribution, energy storage, and controls. The focus areas align with the 2019 Naval Power and Energy Systems Technology Development Roadmap (NPES TDR), emphasizing near-term activities and technologies that improve power density, efficiency, and energy management. White papers may be submitted at any time, and the announcement will remain open for approximately one year from its original publication date or until replaced. No specific budget amounts are mentioned, and the location for performance of services is not specified. Awards may take the form of contracts, cooperative agreements, or other transactions, with no funding provided for white paper or proposal development costs.

This is a modification to a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the research and development of Naval Power and Energy Systems, extending the white paper and proposal receipt period to February 6, 2028. The work focuses on advancing shipboard electric power and energy systems, with specific technology interests in areas like energy storage, power conversion, distribution, prime movers, rotating machines, thermal management, and power controls. The performance location is not specified in the provided text. No specific budget amounts are detailed.
