Summary

The Pulling Guard opportunity, issued by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), seeks innovative proposals for developing a semi-autonomous platform designed to protect unarmed logistics vessels from asymmetric threats, particularly from uncrewed surface vessels (USVs). This initiative aims to create a 'protection as a service' model that can be utilized in both peacetime and conflict scenarios. Contractors with expertise in maritime security, autonomous systems, and innovative defense technologies are encouraged to bid on this opportunity. The program emphasizes the need for revolutionary advancements rather than incremental improvements, making it suitable for companies that can deliver cutting-edge solutions in defense and maritime operations.
