The DoD has identified dazzling lasers as an important part of a long-range hail and warn strategy to deter aggressive actions in maritime, urban, and field environments. We have identified and prototyped components to develop a standalone green dazzler laser cartridge that inserts into a 40mm M203 or M320 grenade launcher or as a rail mounted accessory using a 40mm ring. The cartridge is completely self contained with rechargeable batteries, laser, controls, and driver. Phase 1- we propose building two IRAD prototype 40MM Dazzling cartridges with 1W lasers for 203 restricted breech launchers. We will promote these among customers to identify correct AF stakeholders and generate interest for Phase II and/or acquisition.
