What they’re asking for
SBIR.gov copy: design for salt water and depth, with speed, quietness, and endurance as evaluation factors. Energy harvesting from the environment is out of scope; energy recovery from motion is allowed. Path-planning R&D is out of scope (use OTS for demos). Sensing/dynamic control that uses hydrodynamic interactions is in scope. Vehicle manufacturing cost and supply-chain risk are evaluation factors. Confirm numbers (speed, length, depth) on DSIP.
