The U.S. Coast Guard’s Coastal Sentinel RFI amendment cancels the invitation-only Industry Day demonstrations originally planned for the afternoon of 29 September 2026 in San Diego, California, near Imperial Beach. Over 160 responses made it infeasible to review and select ten companies for that event. CG-RAPTOR and the Coastal Sentinel Program Office will instead continue market research through technical exchanges, one-on-one meetings, demonstrations, and industry days to better understand submitted solutions. The focus remains on mature technologies across four areas: TAK ecosystem integration, improved maritime tracks and detections, alternatives or complements to traditional long-range EO/IR sensing, and full-motion video/computer vision for maritime operations. The Coast Guard seeks demonstration-ready capabilities with proven operational value, not basic research or marketing-only concepts.

The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting market research to identify mature, operationally relevant technologies for its Coastal Sentinel maritime surveillance capability portfolio through an RFI, not a contract solicitation. Interested companies may be down-selected to no more than ten to participate in an invitation-only Industry Day on the afternoon of 29 September 2026 in San Diego, California, near Imperial Beach. The Coast Guard seeks demonstration-ready solutions across four areas: integration with the Team Awareness Kit ecosystem, improved maritime tracks and detections, alternatives to traditional long-range electro-optical/infrared sensing, and full-motion video with computer vision for maritime operations. Responses should show evidence of readiness, operational utility, and a credible path to rapid operator evaluation without significant government-funded development. The event is expected to be unclassified, and participation does not imply endorsement or commitment to acquire any technology.

The USCG is conducting market research via an RFI, not a solicitation, to identify mature technologies for its Coastal Sentinel capability portfolio. Selected companies will be invited to an invitation-only Industry Day on 29 September 2026 in San Diego, California, anticipated near Imperial Beach, with up to ten firms down-selected for roughly 30-minute demonstration slots. Focus areas include mature Team Awareness Kit ecosystem integration, improved maritime tracks and detections, alternatives or complements to traditional long-range electro-optical/infrared sensing, and mature full-motion video/computer vision for maritime operations. The government seeks demonstration-ready capabilities with evidence of operational relevance, such as Technology Readiness Level (TRL), and values interoperability, edge operation, cybersecurity, and a credible path to rapid transition. Responses are not offers, and the government will not pay for or fund development of submitted information.

The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting market research to identify mature, demonstration-ready technologies that could strengthen its Coastal Sentinel maritime surveillance, command-and-control, and communications portfolio. Selected respondents will be invited to an invitation-only Industry Day on the afternoon of 29 September 2026 in San Diego, California (near Imperial Beach), with approximately 30-minute slots for demonstrations or presentations. Interest areas include mature Team Awareness Kit (TAK) integration, improved maritime tracks and detections, alternatives or complements to traditional long-range electro-optical/infrared sensing, and full-motion video/computer vision for maritime operations.

The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting market research through an RFI to identify mature technologies that could strengthen the Coastal Sentinel maritime surveillance capability. Interested parties may submit information for a chance to be among up to ten companies invited to an invitation-only Industry Day on 29 September 2026 in San Diego, California, near Imperial Beach. The event will feature demonstrations, technical presentations, and operator exchanges for selected companies. The Coast Guard seeks technologies in four areas: TAK ecosystem integration, improved maritime tracks and detections, alternatives to traditional long-range EO/IR sensing, and mature full-motion video and computer vision for maritime operations. No budget amounts are specified, and this RFI does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to contract.
