AIR FORCE

Northrop Grumman Information Technology, Defense Enterprise Solutions, of McLean, Va., is being awarded an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract for $19.6 million. The Air Force Research Laboratory's Directed Energy Bioeffects Division is unique in the Department of Defense because it brings together in one organization the physical, biological, behavioral, science and engineering disciplines with specialized facilities to address all aspects of the human interface with optical sources in Air Force combat operations. Due to the laboratory's focus on man as an intrinsic part of the weapon systems, the laboratory is often tasked from other customers to evaluate the human aspects of their systems. AFRLL must respond with technical solutions and programs that address the customer's technical requirements. Optical radiation technologies, with potentially seriously hazards to aircrews, are being incorporated in many operational systems. Beyond today's target designator, rangefinders, and beam rider systems are dedicated laser systems capable of jamming and damaging both eyes and sensors. These systems have potentially serious consequences for air missions, special forces operations, and security of high-value targets in both U.S. and allied countries. In turn, similar systems can be utilized to enhance the warfighter's/peacekeeper flexibility by allowing them to respond with non-lethal methods. At this time $43,550 has been obligated.
