Overview: The PMO ASE is seeking sources and information to provide Laser Detection and Warning capabilities for the USG. This capability should be fielded in 18 months or less. The USG requires a Laser Detection and Warning System that enables both defensive and offensive mitigation of the laser threat through geolocation of the threat and offboarding of fires quality data. PMO ASE's objective is to meet an accelerated timeline while providing a minimum viable product (MVP) to the operational force. Background: Currently, the USG utilizes the AVR-2B as a standalone Laser Detecting Set (LDS). LDS is a passive laser warning system that receives, processes, and displays threat information resulting from aircraft illumination by laser designators, rangefinders, and beam rider Missile Guidance systems. AVR-2B was an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) to AVR-2A and the Acquisition Category (ACAT) IV Designation for LDS and Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) Delegation was issued to PMO ASE in March 2018. Current system LDS AVR-2B Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) parameters are annotated below: LRU Size (inches) H x W x L Weight (lbs) Power (W) 28 VDC Continuous (15 min) Nominal Temp Sensor 2.91” x 7.57” x 6.45” 2.34 lbs each (Current) 4.9 W Processor 5.79” x 7.88” x 5.0” …
