The team also performed a three-month period of software sprints to mature automated mission planning and rerouting capabilities hosted on the MCJ and ACJ Special Mission Systems suite. Additionally, the program procured two Pipistrel light sport aircraft and converted them to unmanned systems.
Last year, congressional defense committees asked SOCOM to conduct additional analysis to evaluate whether other material solutions or methods of employment of existing aircraft might meet Armed Overwatch acquisition program requirements.
They also recommended using an independent entity to accomplish the analysis. The analysis was completed in March, and RAND briefed the results to the congressional defense committees. The awardees will demonstrate prototype systems evaluated against well-defined criteria.
If the prototype project is deemed successfully completed by the government, the contractor may be requested to provide a production proposal for a follow-on production award.
SOCOM has and will continue to work closely with Congress throughout the acquisition process for Armed Overwatch, and appreciates its feedback and support. The Armed Overwatch acquisition program aims to provide special operations forces with deployable, affordable, and sustainable manned aircraft systems capable of executing close air support, precision strike, and armed intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance requirements in austere and permissive environments for use in operations against violent extremist organizations.
The PEO-Maritime portfolio provides both surface and undersea maritime mobility platforms in various stages of development, production, and sustainment, as well as cutting-edge SOF Combat Diving equipment. Pre-contract award activities for DCS Block II are ongoing to develop the next-generation capability providing interoperable capability with U. Navy submarines. Naval Base Guam, Feb 21, To accomplish this critical mission, PEO-RW focuses on readiness, advanced technologies, and life-cycle logistics to ensure the th SOAR maintains a comparative advantage against all potential threats.
The PMO has also delivered 48 of 51 Block 2. It includes enterprise networks transport, tactical comms, as well as Military Information Support Operations. SOF-Warrior provides enhanced lethality, mobility, and survivability while performing ground SOF activities across environment conditions.
The systems contribute directly to USSOCOM priorities to deter, disrupt, and defeat terrorist threats and sustain and modernize the force in persistent intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance. Skip to main content. You are here Home.
Course 2. CBRN Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear. COI Community of Interest. IRBM Intermediate range ballistic missile. MRBM Medium range ballistic missile. SLBM Submarine-launched ballistic missile. SRBM Short range ballistic missile. C4 Command, Control, Communications, and Computers. TE Technical Experimentation events. Defense Threat Reduction Agency. This provides a significant enhancement in aviation vest configurations for the first time in recent history.
PM-Sensitive Activities acquired and delivered 1, end items in the areas of ground ISR systems, special communications devices and radios, virtual points of presence, software licenses, and cyberdefense capabilities, as well as 15 software capability releases in the areas of data fusion, data analytics, and identity management. The team also tested a commercial-off-the-shelf inertial navigation device for application when operating in GPS-denied environments.
The results were not as accurate as GPS; however, in its current state, it provided improved situational awareness in GPS-denied environments. PEO Maritime is responsible for delivering cutting-edge undersea and surface technologies and capabilities to Naval Special Warfare Command. The key to each of the maritime mobility platforms is the Navy SEALs, the end users of each of the maritime programs of record.
PEO Maritime is composed of five program offices that focus on the development, production, and sustainment of wet and dry submersibles, combat diving equipment, submarine-hosted dry deck shelters DDS , and surface craft. The SDV is currently undergoing extensive modernization, including enhancements to operator interfaces and additions to the number of carried payloads. The DCS enables increased range and payload, and protects SEALs from the undersea environment by encapsulating them within a one atmosphere dry submersible shell.
Development began on the new maritime precision engagement system, which will ultimately provide the entire combatant craft fleet with a standoff weapon capability. The production of CCA continues with delivery of five new craft over the last year, while the CCM remains in full-rate production, fielding an additional eight boats to both East and West Coast operational units. The CCH maintains a forward-deployed presence on a rotational basis, with additional craft in production and maintenance availabilities.
The SOF combat diving program rounds out the maritime portfolio and is developing new equipment focused on diver communications, navigation, mobility, and environmental protection. The NGHH and NGMP are both dual channel, multi-band radios enabling simultaneous communication over two channels hosting both narrowband and wideband voice and IP-address-based data waveforms.
These systems are designed to accept an attachable mission module MM allowing for rapid integration of emerging technologies. New technologies and prototypes were developed and demonstrated as part of the autonomous aerial insertion and resupply into dense, urban, complex terrain, enabling aerial dispersion of psychological operations products to reach into isolated populations.
C4 initiated development of a distributable audio media system and demonstrated the next generation loudspeaker wireless and micro system prototypes.
