DEVCOM CBC Grant for Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) Raman System Development

This DEVCOM CBC grant is for the development of state-of-the-art semi-autonomous standoff Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) Raman Systems. The U.S. Army requires these systems to address a significant challenge: detecting both solid and liquid chemicals at standoff distances exceeding two meters. The purpose is to enhance avoidance and improve situational awareness within chemically hazardous environments. Initial systems are specified to operate at 262 nm, with subsequent systems requiring operation below 250 nm. This Request for Information aims to identify industry capabilities to close this capability gap, ultimately leading to effective, deployable solutions for advanced chemical detection.

Additional Information

Agency Name:	ACC-APG-Edgewood
Description:	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 Industry’s ability to address this capability gap and determine the effectiveness deployment upon successful technological development.
