Military Information Support Operations

Abstract

This project provides for the development and acquisition of Military Information Support Operations (MISO) equipment. MISO are planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately, the behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and individuals. This project funds transformational systems and equipment to conduct MISO in support of combatant commanders and includes: • Media Production and Broadcast Systems support the Media Production Center (MPC) and the Fly Away Broadcast System (FABS) MISO missions. The MPC includes the fixed site MPC with light and medium media production capability. FABS is a transit case fly-away broadcast system that consists of a combination of amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), shortwave (SW), cellular, and television (TV) transmitters. • Long Range Broadcast System (LRBS) is a family of broadcast systems intended to be integrated into multiple manned and unmanned, long-loiter aerial systems with the capability of broadcasting in AM, FM, SW, TV, Very High Frequency (VHF), TV Ultra High Frequency (UHF) and cellular (Short Message Service, Multi-Media Messaging Service, and Voice). This system provides the capability of broadcasting MISO messages via multiple mediums into permissive, semi-permissive, and denied foreign areas. • FABS is a transit case fly-away broadcast system that consists of a combination of AM, FM, SW, cellular, and TV transmitters. • Family Of Loudspeakers (FOL) is a portable loudspeaker system that is capable of disseminating high quality recorded and live audio messages by MISO Forces in varied geographical areas and climate conditions. The new variant of the FOL is the Next Generation Loudspeaker System (NGLS). The NGLS consists of a Dismounted and Mounted variants that are lighter, smaller, and louder than legacy speaker systems, with added clarity and durability.
