DARPA Solicitation for High Duty Cycle High Energy Lasers (HEL) for SWaP-Constrained Systems

This opportunity is a DARPA solicitation for innovative high energy laser (HEL) solutions: - Agency: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Strategic Technology Office (STO) - Objective: Seek moderate power (1-20 kW) high energy lasers capable of high duty cycle operation - Intended for integration into Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) constrained military platforms - Example platforms: Stryker vehicles, Collaborative Combat Aircraft - Requirements: - Lasers must operate at high duty cycle - Must be suitable for SWaP-constrained environments - Solutions should be innovative and post-competitive - Procurement Details: - No specific OEMs, vendors, or part numbers identified - Multiple awards possible; submissions reviewed on a rolling basis - No detailed product or service line items provided - Commercial Opportunity: - Open to companies capable of developing or supplying moderate power HEL systems for military use - Emphasis on integration and operational suitability for mobile or airborne platforms - Period of Performance: - Not specified; awards may be made prior to the closing date based on rolling submissions

Description

Between the dates listed above, DARPA STO will be actively “shopping” the ERIS Marketplace for innovative, post-competitive, awardable solutions that address the need for moderate power (1-20 kW) high energy lasers that can be operated at high duty cycle in SWaP constrained systems such as Stryker vehicles or Collaborative Combat Aircraft.This is an active and immediate search for solutions. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis as they are received, and the Government reserves the right to make one or more awards prior to the closing date of this notice.
