USAFRICOM - Non-Traditional Maritime Sensing Challenge
USAFRICOM seeks non-traditional maritime sensing solutions to identify and attribute deceptively operating vessels in African waters, including activity involving spoofed AIS data and concealed ownership. Proposed capabilities should support partner-led enforcement and prosecution without relying on cooperative vessel-tracking systems across regions such as the Gulf of Guinea, Horn of Africa, Somali Basin, Bab-el-Mandeb approaches, Mozambique Channel, and North African littorals. This open solicitation was posted on July 31, 2026, and responses are due by August 17, 2026.
