DARPA is offering the Persistent Aquatic Living Sensors (PALS) grant for innovative projects using marine organisms as sensor elements to detect underwater vehicles. This program aims to develop deployable sensor systems that can monitor and classify both manned and unmanned underwater vehicles, enhancing maritime situational awareness. Proposals should focus on pairing living organisms with detectors to amplify signals related to vehicle activity in diverse maritime settings. Deadline for submissions is April 30, 2018.
