Special Operations (SO) Tactical Systems (Automation) Development/S710

Abstract

This program element provides for development, testing, and integration of specialized automation equipment to meet the unique requirements of Special Operations Forces (SOF). Specialized automation equipment will permit small, highly trained forces to conduct required operations across the entire spectrum of conflict. These operations are generally conducted in harsh environments, for unspecified periods and in locations requiring small unit autonomy. SOF must infiltrate by land, sea, and air to conduct unconventional warfare, direct action, or deep reconnaissance operations in denied areas against insurgent units, terrorists, or highly sophisticated threat forces. The requirement to operate in denied areas controlled by a sophisticated threat mandates that SOF systems remain technologically superior to threat forces to ensure mission success.

Change Summary Explanation
Funding: FY09: Net decrease of -$4.741 million is due to FY 2009 Omnibus 1415-1 Prior Approval Reprogramming (09-26 PA) (-$2.000 million), Small Business Innovative Research transfer (-$0.490 million), and reprogramming to support Foliage Penetration efforts (-$2.251 million). FY10: Net increase of $0.663 million is due to Congressional Adds for Covert Communication for Software Defined Radios ($2.765 million) and for SOC-R Armor Development for Small Arms Armor Piercing Ammo ($2.499 million), decrease of -$4.588 million for a Congressional reduction against the Special Operations Resource Business Information System, and -$0.029 million due to Section 8097 Congressional general reduction. Funding for SOC-R Armor Development for Small Arms Armor Piercing Ammo Congressional Add will be moved via 1415 reprogramming action into PE 1160481BB SOF Munitions. FY11: Increase of $1.582 million is due to the DoD not estimating FY 2011 cost when the FY 2010 President's Budget was prepared. Schedule: None. Technical: None.
