- Description
- The United States Armys Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) is performing a market survey of the development/procurement of Low Energy Laser Warning Lights. Quantities may be as high as 1,000 systems or greater. Selected sources will provide a detailed design for a system consistent with the draft performance requirements listed below; and achievable to begin delivering systems in less than 12 weeks. Ability to meet schedule requirements is extremely critical. The Low Energy Las er Warning Light will have a Day / Night mode, where the Night switch reduces output energy by two-thirds. The Low Energy Laser Warning Light will also have a third mode with 50 percent duty cycle, 6-8 hertz. The Low Energy Laser Warning Light design will include a Picatinny rail on top for mounting sighting optics (e.g. ACOG). The Low Energy Laser Warning Light design will also include a rail grabber on the bottom for mounting on a Picatinny rail for use on a variety of weapons. Draft System Performance Parameters are as follows: 1) Output power: ~ 500mW, 2) Beam Divergence: 15 mR, 3) NOHD: 10 meters or less, 4) Power: Four CR-123 batteries, 5) Battery Life: 2 hours continuous operation, 6) Weight: less than 2 lbs, 7) Operating Temperature Range: 10 - 40 degrees C full width half max power output. NVESD welcomes white papers recommending systems that will meet the suggested requirements in the specified time frame. White papers should describe the contractors experience in design, development, fabrication and testing of their systems, detailed specifications of their systems, organizational capabilities, and a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) unit cost for potential future government procurements. The white paper should also address any other features of you r system that may enhance its utility to the Army. White papers should not exceed 10 pages in length. The data received in response to this RFI is for information purposes only and does not mandate or impose requirements. It is desirable that data be rec eived with unlimited rights to the Government. However, we recognize that proprietary data may be included with the information provided. If so, clearly mark such proprietary information and clearly separate it from the unrestricted information as an adden dum. All responses to this market research shall be submitted within 45 calendar days of the date of this announcement. All questions and white papers must be submitted via e-mail to Ms. Maureen Parsons, Contract Specialist at maureen.parsons@cacw.army.mil . Please reference solicitation number W909MY-07-R-GOST in all request for information and in the white paper submission. No telephonic inquiries or requests will be honored. See note 26.
