Special Applications for Contingencies (SAFC)/9999

Abstract

The Special Applications for Contingencies (SAFC) project develops and deploys special capabilities to perform intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) for deployed Special Operations Forces (SOF) using non-traditional means. It provides a mechanism for SOF user combat evaluation of emerging sensor technologies. SAFC applies focused Research and Development for relatively low cost solutions to provide remotely controlled system emplacement and data exfiltration from denied areas. This program also specifically addresses short lead-time contingency planning requirements where focused Research and Development will allow for test and evaluation of leading edge solutions to an emergent problem set based on requirements validated through a specific Joint Staff/OSD chartered approval process.
