Shipboard Warning System

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) is seeking information from industry to understand current capabilities and willingness to develop a shipboard laser warning system. The system should provide hemispherical coverage, operate in all weather conditions, and integrate into a ship's power system and network. It should also detect and classify laser irradiances, provide warning to personnel, and have an operational availability of greater than 90%. The vendor should be able to deliver the system within approximately 12 months after receipt of order. • The system should meet specific requirements, including providing hemispherical coverage and operating in all weather conditions. • The system should integrate into a ship's power system, network, alarm/warning indications, and human user interfaces. • The system should detect and classify laser irradiances, including continuous wave lasers, pulsed lasers, and quasi-pulsed lasers. • The system should provide general information on the irradiance, including wavelength, angle of arrival, and energy/power density. • The system should provide specific warning to personnel based on the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE).
