About this opportunity

The purpose of this Global-X Challenge is to ultimately provide a catalyst through basic and applied research for later development and delivery of revolutionary capabilities to the Navy and Marine Corps, the commercial marketplace, and the public. The expected outcomes of this Global-X Challenge are promising, potentially game-changing concepts whose technology maturity may be accelerated under separate agile follow-on technology development efforts. Joining ONR Global as members of the Global-X Challenge evaluation panel are experts from signatory nations of the International Cooperative Engagement Program for Polar Research (ICE-PPR). All Global-X Challenge evaluation panel members will be covered under a non-disclosure agreement and will certify no Personal or Organizational Conflicts of Interest exist. All ONR Global and other Federal employees are subject to Federal laws requiring the protection of trade secrets and proprietary information. ONR Global is interested in promising concepts to achieve revolutionary capability advances with both military and commercial value in the multidisciplinary technology challenge areas described below. Specifically excluded are approaches that primarily result in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice, or are already funded by existing research programs. ONR Global recognizes that international scientists and engineers conduct creative and novel research. This Global-X Challenge provides an opportunity for these international researchers to collaborate, generate revolutionary ideas and demonstrate these ideas will succeed. ONR Global invites outstanding international researchers to form multi-national, multidisciplinary teams to address one or more of these capability challenges. Individual researchers may participate on more than one team. Teams are responsible for establishing non-disclosure agreements among team members, if necessary.
