Surface Navy Laser Weapon System (SNLWS)
Abstract
Project 3402 - The Surface Navy Laser Weapon System (SNLWS) was initiated under the authority granted by the Middle-Tier Acquisition legislation (Section 804 of the FY16 NDAA) in accordance with CNO's direction. The SNLWS program supports the National Defense Strategy of building a more lethal force by leveraging mature technology to deliver proven laser weapon capability to the Fleet. HELIOS provides a capability to address Anti-Surface Warfare and Counter-Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C-ISR) gaps with the ability to dazzle and destroy Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and defeat Fast Inshore Attack Craft (FIAC). SNLWS provides for industry-developed and government integrated capability to the Fleet in as short a timeframe as possible, thereby addressing the National Defense Strategy direction to foster a culture of affordability. SNLWS includes the development of an advanced prototype laser weapon system in the 60 kW or higher class. Competition is utilized for system development and prototype production efforts. SNLWS leverages mature technology to deliver a proven laser weapon capability to the Fleet integrated with the Combat System. 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. The FY20 funding supports completion of the system build, review and delivery of the Technical Data Package, preparation for conduct of Factory Qualification Testing (FQT), and Packaging, Handling, Storage and Transportation (PHS&T) of one system.
