Summary

The U.S. Navy is seeking proposals for an Expeditionary Very Low Frequency (ExVLF) transmitter system that can be containerized, deployed on an aerostat‑lofted antenna, and operate continuously to broadcast data to maritime and shore receivers. The notice highlights requirements for high‑power performance, ruggedness, and optional AI/ML features for predictive maintenance, but the core procurement is a communications hardware suite rather than an advanced technology system.
