Background: Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) is undertaking a new research initiative in the domain of high power lasers and fibre optics. DRDC is thus soliciting submissions for the development and delivery of an optical beam collimating and focusing system. General Description: DRDC has a requirement for an optical beam collimating and focusing system, hereby named as the optical beam expander (BEX). The primary objective of the BEX is to allow focusing a kW-class continuous wave laser beam at different ranges. The BEX will also integrate an optical camera and a ranging system so as to be able to automatically determine the required focus distance. The system will be lightweight, weatherproof, passively cooled, exhibiting minimal back reflections and with electronic adjustment and tuning abilities. The Contractor will have to demonstrate its expertise and knowledge in the field of high power optical beam control systems by providing information on the number and scope of completed projects, as per the evaluation criteria appendix. Special Considerations: The exact specifications of the system are considered to be sensitive and will only be supplied upon contract award to the winning bidder. The specifications are not deemed necessary for bid proposals. These include parameters represented by LAS_POW, LAS_PROV, BEX_AL, RAN_MIN, RAN_MAX, ADJ_RES, RAN_EX1, RAN_SP1, RAN_EX2, RAN_SP2, RAN_EX3, RAN_SP3, LRF_RAN. Four different deliverables will be provided to DRDC-Valcartier as per the percentages (%) of the contract value (there will be a 10% holdback on each deliverable) and the delivery dates indicated below: 1) A detailed design of the optical system including all relevant parameters and diagrams: 20%, June 30th, 2013; 2) An intermediate proof of completion of the optical system frame core: 20%, December 31st, 2013; 3) An operational, tested and aligned optical system along with performance characterization test results: 45%, February 28th, 2014; and 4) Technical and installation support and training at DRDC's facilities: 15%, March 31st, 2014.
