Notice of Intent for Brand Name or Equal Justification _ LIDAR Manipulation Hardware

The Geospatial Research Laboratory (GRL) of the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is currently working on an ongoing Flex4 project, which aims to design and develop a Fast-Tracking System using a single photon detector. GRL needs to procure electronic high-performance electronic test and measurement equipment, specializing in precision instrumentation for scientific and engineering applications. The required products must encompass a broad range of devices, including lock-in amplifiers for signal recovery, delay pulse generators for accurate timing, function generators, and low-noise voltage/current sources. Current instruments available at the laser and photonics lab at GRL cannot meet some of the requirements or full utilized by other projects. GRL must acquire these instruments to aid the team in successfully designing the fast-tracking system.
