Surface Navy Laser Weapon System (SNLWS)
Abstract
Project 3402 - Surface Navy Laser Weapon System (SNLWS): SNLWS funding was provided for the expedited development and fielding of the SNLWS system to Naval Forces. SNLWS includes the development of advanced prototype laser weapon systems in the 60 kW or higher class. SNLWS leverages mature technology to deliver a proven laser weapon capability to the Fleet. SNLWS development leverages the Office of Naval Research (ONR) efforts on the Solid State Laser (SSL) Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) and Solid State Laser (SSL) Technology Maturation (TM) efforts. SNLWS provides a capability to address existing Anti-Surface Warfare, Integrated Air and Missile Defense and Counter-Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C-ISR) Gaps with the ability to dazzle and destroy Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) and Fast Inshore Attack Craft (FIAC). The funding in PB19 was increased in order to procure two (2) additional SNLWS units for two DDG 51 class ship installations and was based on a certified NAVSEA cost estimate that more accurately predicts actual program costs. This increase provides the requisite level of funding for the system engineering and combat system integration, threat analysis, ship installation/integration/planning/drawings/scheduling, test planning, and maintenance/sustainment engineering/planning for the first two SNLWS units. FY18 efforts are focused on program and system requirements definition, contract proposal development and evaluation, and contract award which will allow procurement of long lead material to maintain the schedule for delivery of the initial SNLWS units.
