The Navy Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) via the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Tech-Solutions Office has awarded a contract to Propell, LLC to develop the next generation of protective gear for emergency responders to steam line ruptures aboard submarines.
The contract is valued at $177,697.
The main component is a steam suit ensemble that will be designed to provide protection to a high heat and water saturated environment while offering excellent mobility and flexibility.
This development effort will leverage technologies developed under a Phase I contract (N00189-13-P-Z287), awarded in March 2013 to Propel, LLC.
