Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division is seeking information for market research purposes relative to technologies available to support PRF-coded laser marking systems and PRF-coded laser designation systems to be used in nearly all weather conditions during "call-for-fire" missions. Request for Information (RFI) is sought for systems which may provide the capabilities identified in Attachment 1. This effort is underway to gauge potential interest, establish the current state of industry, and assist in specification refinement and validation. Attached are draft characteristics for review and comment. All interested parties are strongly encouraged to submit a White Paper. All efforts shall be made to protect proprietary information that is clearly marked in writing. The Offeror's attention is directed to the fact that contractor personnel may review, and provide support during review, of submissions. When appropriate, the contractor personnel may have access to submissions and may be utilized to objectively review submissions in a particular functional area and provide comments and recommendations to the Government's decision makers.
