The US Coast Guard has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to assess the availability, maturity and integration requirements of high-energy laser technologies for maritime applications. The service identified uncrewed systems, including UAS and USVs, as primary targets of interest for potential directed energy applications. The coast guard is therefore seeking details on systems designed or adaptable for operation in harsh maritime conditions. Industry responses are expected to provide information on the physical characteristics of proposed systems, including dimensions, weight, power requirements, cooling requirements and estimated acquisition and installation costs. Companies are additionally encouraged to provide information on software capabilities, including target profiles and targeting methods.
