Summary

The Pulling Guard opportunity, issued by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), seeks innovative proposals to develop 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 advanced technology, maritime security, and autonomous systems are encouraged to bid, as the program emphasizes revolutionary advancements rather than incremental improvements. The solicitation anticipates multiple awards and encourages collaboration between commercial entities and the Department of Defense to enhance maritime safety and operational efficiency.
