Description of Requirements (DOR):

Fast Scanning Mirror Author: Joshua Parker Report Date: 18 December 2024 Organization: Geospatial Research Laboratory, ERDC, USACE Report Title: Procurement of Fast Scanning Mirror

REQUIREMENT

The Geospatial Research Laboratory (GRL) requires a fast-scanning mirror for integration into a high-altitude airborne lidar sensor. The mirror will be operated in an extreme environment and must be able to operate successfully within the environmental constraints and performance requirements as described in Table 1. These performance requirements are derived from modeling of the atmospheric conditions that will be encountered by the device.

GRL performs investigations of imaging lidar for geospatial applications. These research activities include development of high-altitude airborne lidar payloads as part of the ELS3D program. GRL will integrate this mirror into a lidar sensor that will be flown in a high-altitude payload.

System Requirements (Table 1): Table 1 entitled “System Requirements” provides the key specifications we are seeking to satisfy.

Selection Process: The lowest cost technically acceptable approach will be used to select the bid recommended for award. Technical experts at GRL will review each quote offered to GRL in response to this solicitation. To be considered, the vendor’s quote must show that the product will meet and deliver all the specifications in Table 1. Quotes that are ambiguous or are missing required information may not be considered.
