The U.S. Army is seeking innovative technology solutions from eligible small businesses across the U.S. through the Expeditionary Technology Search (xTechSearch) competition. This platform offers participants the opportunity to pitch novel technology solutions—whether a new application for an existing technology or an entirely new technology concept—to the Army, engage with the Department of Defense (DoD), earn prize money, join an accelerator program, and winners will have the opportunity to submit a Phase I Army Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) proposal.

Autonomous Robotic Bridging

A254-12 | Phase I

This topic seeks to develop autonomous drone swarm capability for watercraft operated in a riverine environment. The fielding of autonomous powered floating bridges will enable the Army to conduct unpredictable dispersed river crossings, increase crew survivability by removing the man from the craft, and reduce logistics footprint over the Improved Ribbon Bridge in use today by combining both payload capacity and powertrain into a single craft. The development of an autonomy package for multiple dispersed floating bays to interact separately and jointly is the key technology to bring this capability to the 2040 battlespace.
