DEVCOM CBC requires a capable and qualified company to provide labor support, supervisory support, materials, tools, and equipment to develop state-of-the-art semi-autonomous standoff DUV Raman Systems. The first two (2) systems should be capable of operating at 262 nm. The additional two (2) systems should be capable of operating below 250nm. The U.S. Army currently has a challenge to detect large and small quantities of chemicals solids and liquids) at standoff distances greater than two (2) meters on ground and surfaces to enhance avoidance and situational awareness of a chemically hazard environment. The Army is gathering data to determine Industrys ability to address this capability gap and determine the effectiveness deployment upon successful technological development.

This project will involve close collaboration with the successful offeror and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). This project will involve adding the navigation attributes to acoustic fields and potentially electric fields within the OpenFOAM framework, while still computing hydraulic variables. The resulting data set will include a sound field, a flow field, various navigation attributes that are found to impact either the acoustic and/or flow fields, and electrical field as appropriate. A field site with supporting geometry, acoustic data, lock operations data, navigation data, and AIS data will be provided by the USACE. The successful offeror will be responsible for processing ambient and intentional (that is the acoustic deterrent) acoustic and hydrological data as appropriate. Operations, navigation, and AIS data will be processed by USACE, which would include the removal/recoding of vessel identifications.
