Description
AI GeneratedThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Strategic Technology Office is seeking innovative, post-competitive, awardable solutions for high energy lasers. The agency needs moderate power lasers of one to twenty kilowatts that can operate at a high duty cycle. These lasers must function within size, weight, and power-constrained systems, specifically targeting platforms like Stryker vehicles or Collaborative Combat Aircraft. Bidders must submit their solutions through the ERIS Marketplace to be considered for an award. The agency is conducting an active and immediate search, reviewing submissions on a rolling basis as they are received. The government reserves the right to make one or more awards prior to the closing date of the shopping notice.
