Coast Guard 

[Docket No. USCG–2015–0007] 

Cooperative Research and 

Development Agreement—Robotic 

Aircraft for Maritime Public Safety 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of intent; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces 

its intent to enter into a cooperative 

research and development agreement 

(CRADA) with several companies to 

evaluate small unmanned aircraft 

systems (SUAS) and their airborne 

sensors, to determine their potential for 

use in a maritime environment by a first 

responder and DHS operational 

components. The Coast Guard will 

conduct flight testing and evaluation of 

SUAS under a wide variety of simulated 

but realistic and relevant real-world 

maritime operational scenarios, such as 

law enforcement, search and rescue, and 

maritime environmental response. 

While the Coast Guard is currently 

considering partnering with Aerovel 

Corporation, Aerovironment Inc., 

Aurora Flight Sciences, Lockheed 

Martin Corporation, and Mission 

Technology Systems LLC, it solicits 

public comment on the possible 

participation of other parties in the 

proposed CRADA, and the nature of that 

participation. The Coast Guard also 

invites other potential non-Federal 

participants, who have the interest and 

capability to bring similar contributions 

to this type of research, to consider 

submitting proposals for consideration 

in similar CRADAs. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted to 

the online docket via http://

www.regulations.gov, or reach the 

Docket Management Facility, on or 

before March 23, 2015. 

Synopses of proposals regarding 

future CRADAs must reach the Coast 

Guard (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT) on or before March 23, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments using one 

of the listed methods, and see 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for more 

information on public comments.

Discussion 

CRADAs are authorized under 15 

U.S.C. 3710(a).1 A CRADA promotes the 

transfer of technology to the private 

sector for commercial use, as well as 

specified research or development 

efforts that are consistent with the 

mission of the Federal parties to the 

CRADA. The Federal party or parties 

agree with one or more non-Federal 

parties to share research resources, but 

the Federal party does not contribute 

funding. 

CRADAs are not procurement 

contracts. Care is taken to ensure that 

CRADAs are not used to circumvent the 

contracting process. CRADAs have a 

specific purpose and should not be 

confused with other types of agreements 

such as procurement contracts, grants, 

and cooperative agreements. 

Under the proposed CRADA, the 

Coast Guard’s Research and 

Development Center (R&DC) will 

collaborate with one or more nonFederal participants. Together, the 

R&DC and the non-Federal participants 

will evaluate SUAS and their airborne 

sensors to determine their potential for 

use in a maritime environment by a first 

responder and DHS operational 

components. 

We anticipate that the Coast Guard’s 

contributions under the proposed 

CRADA will include the following: 

(1) Develop the demonstration test 

plan to be executed under the CRADA; 

(2) Provide the SUAS test range, test 

range support, facilities, and all 

approvals required for a 5 day 

demonstration under the CRADA; 

(3) Conduct the privacy threshold 

analysis required for the demonstration; 

(4) Conduct the privacy impact 

assessment required for the 

demonstration; 

(5) Coordinate any required spectrum 

approval for the SUAS; 

(6) Coordinate and receive any 

required interim flight clearance for the 

demonstration; 

(7) Provide any required airspace 

coordination and de-confliction for the 

demonstration test plan; 

(8) Collect and analyze demonstration 

test plan data; and 

(9) Develop a demonstration final 

report documenting the methodologies, 

findings, conclusions, and 

recommendations of this CRADA work. 

We anticipate that the non-Federal 

participants’ contributions under the 

proposed CRADA will include the 

following: 

(1) Provide SUAS all other equipment 

to conduct the demonstration described 

in the demonstration test plan; 

(2) Provide all required operators and 

technicians to conduct the 

demonstration; 

(3) Provide technical data for the 

SUAS to be utilized; 

(4) Provide shipment and delivery of 

all SUAS equipment required for the 

demonstration; and 

(5) Provide travel and associated 

personnel and other expenses as 

required. 

The Coast Guard reserves the right to 

select for CRADA participants all, some, 

or no proposals submitted for this 

CRADA. The Coast Guard will provide 

no funding for reimbursement of 

proposal development costs. Proposals 

and any other material submitted in 

response to this notice will not be 

returned. Proposals submitted are 

expected to be unclassified and have no 

more than five single-sided pages 

(excluding cover page, DD 1494, JF–12, 

etc.). The Coast Guard will select 

proposals at its sole discretion on the 

basis of: 

(1) How well they communicate an 

understanding of, and ability to meet, 

the proposed CRADA’s goal; and 

(2) How well they address the 

following criteria: 

(a) Technical capability to support the 

non-Federal party contributions 

described; and 

(b) Resources available for supporting 

the non-Federal party contributions 

described. 

Currently, the Coast Guard is 

considering Aerovel Corporation, 

Aerovironment Inc., Aurora Flight 

Sciences, Lockheed Martin Corporation, 

and Mission Technology Systems LLC 

for participation in this CRADA, 

because each has demonstrated the 

ability to operate SUAS in a maritime 

environment. However, we do not wish 

to exclude other viable participants 

from this or future similar CRADAs. 

This is a technology demonstration 

effort. The goal of this CRADA is to 

identify and investigate the potential of 

the SUAS and their airborne sensors to 

determine their potential use in a 

maritime environment by the first 

responder and the DHS operational 

components. Special consideration will 

be given to small business firms/

consortia, and preference will be given 

to business units located in the U.S. 

This notice is issued under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 15 

U.S.C. 3710(a).

Coast Guard 

[Docket No. USCG–2015–0016] 

Cooperative Research and 

Development Agreement: Western 

Rivers e-AtoN Technology 

Demonstration 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of intent; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces 

its intent to enter into a cooperative 

research and development agreement 

(CRADA) to prepare for a 

demonstration, the ‘‘Ohio River eNav 

Technology Demonstration’’ of 

electronic navigation (eNav) technology 

to be conducted by the Coast Guard, 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the 

National Oceanic Atmospheric 

Administration. The eNav 

demonstration will involve the 

transmission of navigation safety and 

environmental information via 

automatic identification system (AIS) 

technology to the electronic charting 

system (ECS) displays on bridges of 

commercial vessels that are operating in 

the test area. The purpose of the 

demonstration is to identify the extent 

to which mariners would benefit from 

the distribution of e-AtoN information; 

and the policy changes, the 

infrastructure, and level of effort needed 

by the Coast Guard and its partner 

agencies to operate and maintain this 

technology. 

The geographic area to be covered by 

the Ohio River eNav Technology 

Demonstration includes the Ohio River 

from Markland Lock (north of 

Louisville, KY) to the mouth of the Ohio 

River, and reaches of the Mississippi 

River within 45 statute miles of its 

confluence with the Ohio River. The 

Coast Guard needs end user 

participants, who are commercial 

operators that regularly operate in the 

Ohio River eNav Technology 

Demonstration test area, to receive the 

information via AIS. While the Coast 

Guard is currently considering 

partnering with Rose Point Navigation 

Systems (Rose Point), and CNS, Inc. 

(CNS), it solicits public comment on the 

possible participation of other parties in 

the proposed CRADA, and the nature of 

that participation. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted to 

the online docket via http://

www.regulations.gov, or reach the 

Docket Management Facility, on or 

before 30 days after date of publication 

in the Federal Register. 

Synopses of proposals regarding
