National Systems Support to SOF (NSSS)
Abstract
NSSS provides research and development, and rapid prototyping to support the USSOCOM TENCAP program and supporting capabilities. NSSS improves the combat effectiveness of the USSOCOM, its components, and the Theater Special Operations Commands (TSOC) by providing innovative space-based Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) technologies and system enhancements, products, and special communications capabilities to tactical SOF units. NSSS leverages current and developmental national systems to augment, support, and integrate with the USSOCOM systems. Focus areas include Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Special Communications, and intelligence fusion, reporting, and dissemination. NSSS efforts are characterized by rapid prototype development to transition to the USSOCOM programs while leveraging existing national space-based assets and integration of SOF-peculiar satellite payloads via integration with the National Defense Space Architecture (NDSA) and aligns with the 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS).
