A -- COMPACT, LIGHT-WEIGHT, CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) LADAR TRANSCEIVER DEVELOPMENT POC Kenneth Bragg, Contract Specialist, CSSD-CM-CN/Linda N. Bentley, Contracting Officer, CSSD-CM-CN, (205) 955-1187. The U.S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command, Sensors Directorate, Huntsville, Alabama, intends to award a sixty (60) month sole source contract to Technology Development Corporation (TDC) to continue the current efforts of developing the compact, light-weight TDC folded laser radar sensor. The objective of this program is to develop, fabricate and demonstrate a 6-meter gain length, compact, light-weight, coherent CO2 laser radar (ladar) sensor that is ultimately capable of being utilized as a laser radar seeker on-board an interceptor. The laser radar sensor must be capable of performing highly resolved range and doppler measurements in order to support on-board discrimination and hit-to-kill intercepts. A coherent moderate power ()100w) laser radar seeker is required for this program. Interested companies must show a history of proven experience in the design, fabrication, and demonstration of laser radar technology as noted above. A SECRET facility clearance will be required for this effort. This action is not open to allied participation. Written request should be addressed to U.S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command, ATTN: CSSD-CM-CN/Kenneth Bragg, P.O. Box 1500, Huntsville, AL 35807-3801. This is not an RFP. The proposed contract action is for supplies and services for which this command intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. See Numbered Note(s): 22.
