U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) missions require the ability to maneuver undetected in urban and rural environments. While Special Operations Forces (SOF) have developed Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) for avoiding adversarial humans and technologies, remotely deliverable deterrents for domesticated and feral canines have remained an elusive goal, sometimes compromising operat ...

Mortar systems are widely used within the Special Operations Force to provide organic fire support. Traditionally, due to inaccuracies in estimates of orientation, position, and environmental parameters, the first mortar fired has been unlikely to produce effects on target and is used to determine the required correction for subsequent salvos. While estimates of the enemys position have become inc ...

The proposed system will be capable of being tube mounted on the 60/81/120mm mortar tubes for the measuring of the barrel elevation and cant angles and will provide a firing solution, elevation and azimuth angle, required to impact the target at the range input by the user. The range to the target can be directly entered by the user, read from a fielded laser range finder (VECTOR, PLRF, etc), or c ...

Orbital Research, with Blue Diamond LLC, will investigate the mortar weapon system and provide high payoff concepts to increase the range and accuracy of the mortar. Through a comprehensive and multi-disciplined approach the Team will study the internal and external ballistics of each design solution and allow for down selection of those that have the highest payoff and minimal modification to he ...

nVision Technology, Inc. proposes to develop a system that mounts to the mortar system and brings the same level of performance and ease of use to fire control for 60mm, 81mm, and 120mm mortar systems that it has brought to small arms fire control. With built-in sensors and minimal user input (projectile information, the wind, range/position of target), the system will automatically compensate ...

The proposed Phase I effort is to complete a feasibility review of all innovative technology options that can be implemented in Phase II in order to evaluate, reverse engineer, reengineer, design, draft, fabricate, machine, coat, assemble and test facsimiles of foreign like weapons described in the topic announcement. McNally's solution is based on our years of experience in reverse engineering s ...

Military UAS platforms are crucial for conducting ISR and providing real-time offensive and defensive information. However, smaller electric systems that can be carried in the field suffer from poor endurance and low payload weights. As endurance requirements increase, battery and airframe weight grow exponentially to extend range capabilities. This results in a downward spiral of weight increases ...

Prioria is proposing a family of aircraft configurations to address USSOCOM's requirements. Achieving the significant endurance, range, winds, and payload requirements simultaneously requires a highly-optimized aircraft. The configurations range in endurance, robustness, and capability. Configuration 1 is a sturdy fixed-wing aircraft that achieves moderate endurance but can tolerate rough handl ...

G1-RADUAS (Group 1 Reconnaissance And Delivery Unmanned Aircraft System) will utilize a Group 1 state of the art UAV to perform package pickup and delivery and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) for United States Army Special Operations Forces missions. Phase 1 will conduct a feasibility study in order to determine what is in the art of the possible from a system requirements st ...

Pranalytica proposes a program to bring the current generation of MWIR (out-of-band) pointers to a TRL of 7, along with a number of mission critical improvements, including: 1. Reduction in the exit beam divergence to
