The heavy-ion synchrotron SIS100 is the core machine of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany. It will be capable to accelerate very intense beams of heavy ions up to highly relativistic velocities. Laser cooling of bunched ion beams was chosen to reduce the longitudinal momentum spread of the ions in the SIS100. A novel concept will be used, where laser beams from three complementary laser systems (cw and pulsed) will be overlapped in space, time and energy to interact simultaneously with a very broad ion velocity range in order to maximize the cooling efficiency. We will present this project and give an update of its current status. We will also give an overview of the laser and detector systems that will be used at the SIS100.
