The United States Department of the Navy (DoN) faces critical challenges in maintaining its aircraft, ships, and submarines due to reliance on dozens of disparate, legacy IT systems.

To address this need, the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), in collaboration with the Program Executive Office for Manpower, Logistics and Business Solutions (DON PEO MLB) Logistics IT Services (LOG IT), is launching the NextMRO Modernization Prize Challenge.

This challenge seeks innovative commercial solutions that can replace this fragmented landscape with modern Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) solutions and best practices capable of performing integrated, real-time, data-driven operational and shore logistics.
