STATEMENT OF WORK

LEICA GEOSYSTEMS LIDAR

09 OCTOBER 2018

GENERAL

The Air Force Institute of Technology requires an Expeditionary Atmospheric Testbed to effectively identify and quantify atmospheric effects on lasers and sensors. Capabilities include:

(1) a water-based condensation particle counter and size spectrometer to measure aerosol concentration and size distribution; (2) a LIDAR to enable detailed, vertical profiling of aerosol layers and their optical properties; and (3) a Turbulence Eddy, Winds and Atmospheric Gas flux Measurement suite. This acquisition is for the Leica Geosystems brand LIDAR portion of the Testbed.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

The following are the specific required new parts manufactured by Leica Geosystems:

• MPL-4B-IDS-532-AT: Micro Pulse LIDAR System – QTY 1

• MPL-ENCL: All weather enclosure for MPL-4B series LIDAR – QTY 1

• MPL-WIN-12-0.25L: BK-7 window, 12" diameter, 0.6” thick, AR coated for 532 nm, 0.25-wave

TWE – QTY 1

• Spares “A”: MPL-4B-DET – LIDAR detector – QTY 1

• Spares “B”: MPL-4B-PUMP – Replacement laser diode for LIDAR – QTY 2

The following specification lists the minimum (threshold) requirements for each of these components in turn. Objective requirements are also highlighted when available.

Leica Geosystems Brand LIDAR – Aerosol Vertical Profiler:

1. Automated, continuous monitoring of atmospheric aerosol layers and features, to include boundary layer detection

2. Profiling / Detection range: Day, 250m - 15km, Night 250m - 20km (threshold); 100m -

9. Computer interface / Data transfer: USB/Ethernet

10. Eye safety compliance with EN-60825/ANSI Z136.1 2000

11. Unattended operation, transportable for deployed operation

12. Compact, potential for use onboard an aircraft (without enclosure, Weight: less than 30kg;

Size, less than 35cm x 40cm x 90cm)

13. Windows-compatible, PC-based data processing software for analysis of aerosol extinction and backscatter, LIDAR ratio, and boundary layer height

14. Operates on standard US wall plug power rating

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The customer—the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT)—will receive all components 120 days after contract award.

DELIVERY AND TRAINING

The contractor will deliver the NASA calibrated and MPLNET certified LIDAR to the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) at WPAFB, OH.

WARRANTY

Free from defects in material and workmanship, under normal and proper use in accordance with equipment user manual, for the period of time of one year after receipt. The only exception to this requirement is the pump laser diode and LIDAR detector.

PAYMENTS

100% payment after delivery.
