Such a laser should also be built to fit on an 8 foot-by-53 foot trailer with chillers and operate for time periods of up to 1,000 hours on average, the Army said in a Feb. 21 presolicitation notice on FedBizOpps.
Regeneration times are intended to be for less than 10 minutes and the Army wants the laser to be built for storage temperatures of between negative 2 degrees and 112 degrees.
The selected vendor will also be responsible for collimated visible alignment beam for co-alignment with the main laser beam, the Army said.
