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 ...

Apptronik Systems Inc., in cooperation with the University of Texas Human Centered Robotics Lab (HCRL) and Huston-Tillotson University Robotics Lab (a historically black college and university HBCU), endeavor to advance the movement capabilities and modularity of the exoskeleton being developed under contract #H92222-17-C-0050. The primary goal of this program is to optimize the range of movement ...

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 ...

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 S-351 mini-sub is a prototype of the Dry Combat Submersible (DCS). This prototype was established as a means of risk reduction prior to a full commitment to the DCS program. Both of these platforms have an operational need to transit with minimum operator fatigue safely to a pre-defined point and covertly deploy and retrieve SEALS. To meet these operational needs, these platforms require upgra ...

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 ...

The Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (TALOS) program presents an opportunity to provide Special Operators with unique capabilities to achieve increased situational awareness, lethality, and human performance. In current and future iterations of the TALOS system, a base layer system with integrated physiological monitoring equipment provides insight into Operator health and performance status, ...

To perform its unique missions, Naval Special Warfare (NSW) has developed a new class of combatant craft with advanced characteristics, including advanced hull designs for better stability in rough seas and low observable characteristics. As a replacement to the commercial maritime radars currently employed, NSW needs a new Surface Search Phased Array Radar (SSPAR) which can detect, locate, and t ...
