## Description

The proposed topic will explore and exploit the lack of underwater propulsion systems that can efficiently work across a wide variety of speeds over long distances. In particular, this effort is interested in a propulsion system able to transition between low and high speeds, to include the ability to stop and re-start at any time. Other desired characteristics will be briefed at the event.

The program will pursue technologies and systems that support development and demonstration of a system that can propel an underwater vehicle in the ways listed. Further mission profile details will be provided at the Industry Day.

The purpose of this announcement is to focus attention of the scientific community on (1) the area to be studied, (2) the Industry Day scheduled on 4 MAR 2024 for dialogue amongst those interested in this arena, and (3) the planned timetable for the submission of white papers and full proposals.
