The purpose of this synopsis is to announce the Department of the Navy, Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific's intent to award a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order on a noncompetitive basis with University of Central Florida (UCF). The requirement is for the development of laser propagation models, design of outdoor experiments to validate the models, and reports written on the results of the Navy's test of a Supercontinumm laser source. In its capacity, the vendor must provide a facility with a laser laboratory with direct access to an outdoor test range and precision tracking mount to build and operate their laser experiment, this test range needs to be in a maritime environment. The laser system needs to be validated with testing over a 1km outdoor test range. The 1km test range must be instrumented with sensors to characterize the atmosphere and its effect on laser propagation. After validation on the 1km range, the system needs to be integrated into a precision optical tracking mount with a Coude path, such that the laser beam can be directed to an instrumented target board placed at a distance greater than 13km from the laser. The facility must have direct access to an outdoor test range so that laser systems built in the laboratory can be directed outdoors over a controlled laser range for testing over long ranges. The facility must have a precision tracking mount to precisely point the laser beam onto distant target boards. The test range must be in a maritime environment to closely mimic the environment systems aboard a Navy ship would experience.
