OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this topic is to develop applied research towards developing the capability to measure down
range crosswind for long range precision small-arms engagements.
DESCRIPTION:
As a part of this feasibility study, the proposers shall address all viable overall system design options for a tactical,
man-portable, monostatic device for optically sensing down-range crosswind to enable long range precision
small-arms engagements. The device shall be able to measure crosswind conditions ranging from 0-25 mph out to
a distance of 800m. In addition, the capability/complexity to manufacture & produce the optical wind sense
devices shall be included as part of this feasibility study. The feasibility study should consider system accuracy,
signature management, power usage, and system size/weight. The feasibility study should consider usage in
tactical environments (timeliness and ability of calibration, rough handling, extreme temperatures, dust/haze, etc)
across both day & night.
