TACTICAL DIGITAL MEDIA

Abstract

FY16 funds will be used to test representative candidate Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) Non-Developmental Item (NDI) camera and video equipment for effectiveness, suitability, and reliability under combat conditions to support material solutions for procurement. Tactical Digital Media (TDM) is comprised of photo, video and audio recording and editing equipment that will be assembled and issued as variant kits tailored to unit mission requirements. TDM kits address modernization gaps associated with all operational Combat Camera (COMCAM), Public Affairs (PA), and Military Information Support Operations (MISO) units. TDM provides essential imagery, multimedia products, and live interview capabilities that directly contribute to successful execution of a Commander's strategic engagement and communications strategy across the full range of military operations. TDM also provides specific imagery, video, and multimedia support to commanders through the National Command Authority (NCA) level to assist with operational planning, decision-making, combat adversary misinformation/disinformation, alter perceptions regarding coalition efforts, and provide accurate and timely information to national and international audiences. Proposed TDM equipment is entirely COTS/NDI currently in use by military organizations and commercial industry.
