Technology requirements are identified for 5 year operation of a LAWS type instrument between on-orbit maintenance visits. This paper statuses identified technology maturity levels. While LAWS is certainly an advanced technology instrument, the technologies required for most LAWS subsystems have either been previously demonstrated as flight hardware or will be demonstrated in the near future. The transmitter laser is the principle subsystem requiring technology enhancement. The basic LAWS subsystems are delineated as follows: transmitter laser; receiver-processor; optical; mechanical and support; command, control, communications; and electrical power. The following paragraphs present each of these subsystems and current as well as projected technology status for assemblies of each.
