The objective of this work is to perform modeling and simulation related activities supporting AFRL/RD's advanced gas and solid state laser research and development. The lasers to be modeled include Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser (COIL) and Diode Pumped Alkali Laser (DPAL), bulk solid state, and fiber laser systems. The effort shall include computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of laser systems and sub-systems, thermal and structural analysis of laser systems and sub-systems, generation of grids for all varieties of multi-dimensional simulations, solid-state laser simulations using the above techniques in addition to others, and systems level analysis of modeling of laser systems. The contractor shall on occasion be asked to perform technical studies and deliver reports based on modeling efforts. Directorates located on Kirtland AFB, NM, primarily at Phillips Research Site (PRS). The anticipated period of performance is 1 May 2011 through 30 April 2016. The Government intends to award an indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) cost-plus fixed-fee contract for an ordering period of five (5) years (one year basic with 4-(1) year options).
