Mission Statement
To deliver Special Operations (SO)-peculiar manned and unmanned fixed wing airpower capabilities to effectively enable Special Operations Forces (SOF)
PEO-FW partners with the Warfighter and various development and support organizations to synchronize acquisition activities to field an array of advanced technology sensors, defensive countermeasures, advanced avionics, munitions and gun systems, and mission training systems

The low-density, high-demand nature of the SOF fixed wing fleet is a key driver in the acquisition approaches used to continue to improve and sustain the force. The high operational tempo of these aircraft requires innovative means to incorporate capability and sustainment improvements while ensuring adequate aircraft availability

Technical Development Objectives

Definitive quantitative objectives to better inform researchers about the state-of-the-art and where USSOCOM would like technology progress focused We desire SIGNIFICANT increases in capability of combat systems within the PEOs portfolio

UNCLASSIFIED

Undersea Vehicle Energy Storage Systems

Current Status
SOF requires advanced energy storage systems which have significantly higher storage capacity Existing systems use Silver-Zinc Batteries Lithium-ion Systems present significant risk (mitigation strategies required)

UNCLASSIFIED

Undersea Vehicle Energy Storage Systems

Objectives
Meet or approach a performance objective of storing and delivering 1.5 kWh per liter and/or 0.6 kWh per kg of electrical energy Consider fuel cells or other types of sources that deliver similar energy Mitigate risk of high energy density thermal run-a-way

UNCLASSIFIED

Combat Swimmer Thermal Protection

Current Status
Combat Swimmers require thermal protection / regulation (Cold / Warm) Wetsuits: Reduce water flow across the divers body increasing temperature of water near divers body which decreases difference in temperature Dry suits: Surrounds diver with air which has less heat transfer

UNCLASSIFIED

Combat Swimmer Thermal Protection

Objective
Thermal protection in ambient water temperatures anywhere for 2-35 degrees C for 12 hours. (Maintain dexterity and core temperature @ 37 degrees C) Provide protection for divers extremities and core, such that the diver will not have reduced off-gassing in the extremities due to decreased blood flow

UNCLASSIFIED

Lightweight, Small Volume CO2 Removal Technology

Current Status
Existing underwater breathing apparatus (UBA) systems (Mk 25 and Mk 16) have an absorbent volume between 2.9 and 4.0 liters The ratio of CO2 volume absorbed to absorbent volume (VRCO2) at 21oC for each of these systems is VRCO2=120 As the temperature decreases, present systems remove less CO2

UNCLASSIFIED

Lightweight, Small Volume CO2 Removal Technology

Objective
CO2 removal technologies that can meet or approach a performance objective of 240 VRCO2 over a temperature range of 2oC to 35oC and demonstrates equivalent or decreased breathing resistance as current systems

UNCLASSIFIED

Surface Systems Craft Propulsion Systems

Current Status
SOF combatant craft require advanced power systems that provide significantly better power/weight ratios (e.g., maximum hp/lb) at top speed and significantly better fuel efficiency (e.g., (lb/hp-h)) at the most efficient speed (cruise speed) Current craft engines have a power/weight ratio of approximately 0.38 hp/lb at maximum speed and a specific fuel consumption of 0.35 lb/hp-h at cruise speed

UNCLASSIFIED

Surface Systems Craft Propulsion Systems

Objective
Power/weight ratio of 1.0 hp/lb and/or fuel efficiency of 0.1lb/hp-h at cruise speed. 2000 hours between overhauls Burn High Sulfur Fuel. Multi-Fuel Engine DFM to JP-8 (including bio-fuels)

UNCLASSIFIED

Lightweight Armor

Current Status
Dyneema based Armor is installed on the Special Operations Craft Riverine Provides NIJ Level III protection Captures bullets off angle to prevent ricochet and fragmentation Approximately 3.5 pounds per square foot

Objective
NIJ Level IV protection Capture bullets at all incidence angles Lighter than 3.5 pounds per square foot
UNCLASSIFIED

Wireless Intercom Communication

Current Status
Current Intercom System on Craft is tethered to user Connected to Type I encrypted radios Six Channels can be selected

Objective
Equivalent Wireless System All wireless communications are Type I encrypted Use of system that can be slightly modified in order to avoid full NSA certification process Pass full video among users and external sensors Use of other than normal frequencies Signal is attenuated to below noise floor levels outside craft confines
