A -- LADAR SENSOR DUE 022500 POC Paul Kisatsky, US Army ARDEC, 973-724-3130, Kent Kogler, IIT Research Institute, 937-431-9322 In support of its Area Denial Technology program, the US Army, Picatinny Arsenal, is seeking sources of a low cost LADAR to sense moving vehicles. We are interested in evaluating concepts and sources of expertise dealing with the design, modeling, fabrication, and testing of compact, low cost, near IR ladar sensors. We desire to detect and discriminate between different types of moving vehicles from their ladar signatures. In application, the ladar sensor would be at or near ground level, stationary, and pre-emplaced to observe and sense moving vehicles in the proximity of the sensor. Total or partially clear line of sight will usually be available. The sensing range would be less than 500 meters. Ability to classify and identify the vehicle based on its physical shape and profile would be most desirable. The ladar system should be compact, rugged, and battery powered with long life. The ladar should be capable of performing in a wide variety of weather conditions ( rain, snow, haze, fog, dust, etc.), but some degradation with range and conditions may be acceptable. In addition to the ability to detect discriminate vehicles, it would be of interest to the Army if the same sensor were capable of detecting walking personnel. Cost of the sensor/concept will be a primary factor in determining its usefulness to the particular application under consideration. Interested companies should submit information to demonstrate their capability to perform the requirement described above. All data must be submitted to both points of contact specified below. All responses will be reviewed, however the contractor shall be responsible for any costs associated with preparing responses. Information submitted in the capability statement should include company name, address, telephone number, point of contact, business size and general description of the company and services provided. Interested parties should also include a list of their most recent and relevant contracts for providing similar services to include contract number, place of performance, customer point of contact, telephone number, contract type, amount of award and period of performance.
