Fiducial Flashpole Product

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is seeking vendors to develop a next-generation fiducial flashpole system for marine raft use. The current system has experienced reliability and maintenance challenges, and the laboratory is looking for a more robust and maintainable replacement. The new system should have high-intensity flashing, external and internal triggering options, environmental durability, field maintainability, firmware support, and long-term lifecycle support. Vendors with experience in ruggedized electro-optical systems, embedded firmware, waterproof or weather-resistant packaging, and field-deployable equipment are encouraged to respond. • The system should meet specific requirements, including flash brightness, flash pulse timing, light output, and triggering capabilities. • The system should be protected against environmental factors, such as saltwater splashes and humidity. • The system should operate within a certain temperature range and withstand vibration and shock loads. • The system should be designed for minimal maintenance and include a diagnostic test mode. • The manufacturer should provide a minimum 3-year warranty and demonstrate the ability to manufacture and support the product for a minimum of 10 years.
