The Navy is hosting a second Industry Day for the Low Profile Mast (LPM) program to brief interested parties on refined requirements and an accelerated acquisition strategy using an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) pathway. The event aims to encourage innovation, share draft technical requirements and Areas of Interest, and attract traditional and nontraditional defense partners from AUKUS countries (U.S., UK, Australia). The Industry Day will take place on 03 September 2026 from 1000 to 1300 EDT, in-person in the Washington, D.C. area and virtually. Pre-registration is required and restricted to two in-person participants per company, with access limited to approved AUKUS companies. No budget information was announced, but the government emphasizes it will not reimburse any submission costs.
