United States, May 29 -- University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics, Rochester, New York is being awarded a $34,914,959 modification (P00006) to a previously awarded contract (HQ0860-23-C-6000) to increase the base period scope and add two six-month option periods. The value of this contract is increased from $14,999,266 to $49,914,225 (including options). Under this modification, the contractor will define and conduct tests to collect anchoring data to benchmark/verify physics-based pulsed laser lethality modeling. Models, simulations, and lethality toolsets developed shall support analysis against a variety of Department of Defense threats and across ground, sea, air, and space domains. Upon government direction, models of re...
