Cooperative Research and Development Agreement: Super Intelligence (SI) Situational Awareness Tools for Analyzing Coast Guard (CG) Sensor Feeds for Search and Rescue (SAR)
The Coast Guard announces its intent to enter a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with LOOKOUT to assess Super Intelligence for automated target detection and establish a reliable coverage-factor value supporting data-driven Lateral Range Curve (LRC) results for Search and Rescue (SAR) operations. Proposed tools must be high technology-readiness-level, commercially available, self- contained, portable, capable of edge computing, and compatible with video-feed-agnostic sensors. While considering LOOKOUT, the Coast Guard seeks public comment on the proposed CRADA and potential participation by other parties. Interested Federal entities with relevant capabilities may submit proposals for similar CRADAs for agency consideration and future collaboration.
