SOF Technology Development

Abstract

This program element enables United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to conduct studies and develop laboratory prototypes for applied research and advanced technology development, as well as leverage other organizations' technology projects that may not otherwise be affordable within MFP-11. Applying small incremental amounts of investments to Department of Defense (DOD), other government agencies, and commercial organizations allows USSOCOM to influence the direction of technology development or the schedule against which it is being pursued, and to acquire disruptive solutions and emerging technologies for Special Operations Forces (SOF). This project provides an investment strategy for USSOCOM to link technology opportunities with capability deficiencies, capability objectives, technology thrust areas, human endurance and sensory performance, and technology development objectives. This investment strategy is aligned to establish future SOF capability in support of Joint Warfighting Concepts.
