MARSOC: Automated Armory Collaboration Event (CE) RFP

Description: The purpose of this collaboration event is to partner with industry innovators to design a secure, zero-signature automated armory that relies exclusively on optical recognition and computer vision. To maintain strict operational security and eliminate detectable RF signals, this initiative prohibits the use of RFID, active Bluetooth, or radiating digital transmitters. Instead, this event challenges industry partners to develop a passive, image-based inventory system where weapons, gear, and serial numbers are automatically tracked, verified, and logged simply by taking a digital photo or scanning an optical image as items enter or exit the facility. This approach will eliminate slow, legacy paper-based workflows and human-error bottlenecks while guaranteeing absolute property accountability without exposing our facilities to electronic detection.
