Hostile Forces Tagging, Tracking and Locating (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
This project evaluated a collection of tagging, tracking and locating devices that represent the latest in technology. The primary outputs and efficiencies are as follows: these electronic components consist of Data Loggers, Direction Finding devices with associated receivers, Ground Positioning Satellite based cellular and satellite systems. These devices will provide deployed Special Operations Forces worldwide with an enhanced capability to tag, track and pin-point location of adversaries. Due to the number of test articles involved and their sophistication, testing was divided into two phases over two years. The procurements for these devices have exceeded $24.300 million and resulted in $19.500 million cost avoidance. Additional procurements are planned. Fielding reduction is greater than three years. Project testing was completed June 2009.
