The objective of this solicitation is to provide design engineering and manufacturing support from early stage concept design through technology maturation and the completion of and manufacturing efforts for composite and multi-material propulsor, shafting, and other naval vessel components. This includes the manufacturing design drawings, engineering, and fabrication, assembly of prototype propulsor, shafting and bearing components as well as the equipment needed to support propulsor R&D, and testing and evaluation. Development and manufacturing demonstrations will also be conducted for other shipboard components, such as sonar array windows, non-pressure hull hydrodynamic fairings, submarine superstructure components, communications mast enclosures, and surface combatant deck structural components. These manufactured articles include scale model and full scale hardware, as well as hardware suitable for at-sea demonstration.
