Surface Navy Laser Weapon System (SNLWS)
Abstract
Project 3402 - Surface Navy Laser Weapon System (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 as part of the Navy Laser Family of Systems (NLFoS) initiative with the objective of providing the fleet with near-term laser weapon capabilities. Additionally, accelerated learning through incorporation of laser weapon Concept of Operations (CONOPs), employment, and maintenance will enable the rapid development and integration of these capabilities with the Navy's existing weapon systems. This NLFoS initiative will also develop and validate warfighting requirements for laser weapons to address a variety of threats and to mature technologies and system integration readiness. HELIOS provides a low cost-per-shot 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) while integrated into the AEGIS Combat System on a Flt IIA Destroyer. SNLWS provides 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 innovation. SNLWS includes the development of a laser weapon system in the 60 kW or higher class. Competition was utilized for system development and production efforts. SNLWS leverages mature technology that will deliver a mature laser weapon system capability to the Fleet. SNLWS development leverages the Laser Weapon System (LaWS)/Solid State Laser Quick Reaction Capability (SSL QRC) and Solid State Laser Technology Maturation (SSL TM)/Laser Weapon System Demonstrator (LWSD) efforts. The FY 2024 budget request supports the operation, test and sustainment of Mk 5 Mod 0 HELIOS on DDG 88 through technical in-service engineering agent and contractor maintenance and repair support as necessary, to include procurement and/or production of repair parts, routine cyber security and software upgrade installment, software troubleshooting through remote labs, modifications of hardware components, test and evaluation of requirements and updates to training materials and associated deliverables for any changes identified during HELIOS employment.
