In this paper we present a summary of the specifications and architecture for a ruggedized laser wavemeter. This wavemeter is about the size of a pocket calculator and has a wavelength resolution of one part per million. The detectable wavelength range is from the near infrared to the near ultraviolet. The wavemeter is specifically designed to distinguish laser threats from incoherent light sources and measure multiple wavelengths simultaneously. The information update rate is greater than ten readings per second. 1 fig.
