Family of Next Generation Surveillance Systems (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
This comparative test project will evaluate crucial, cutting edge surveillance system upgrades that will provide critical information to counter foreign threats while prosecuting Overseas Contingency Operations. The ability to provide situational awareness and monitoring of foreign threats is paramount to Special Operations Forces (SOF). The primary outputs and efficiencies are as follows: this project synergizes the results of the highly successful Hostile Forces-Tagging, Tracking, and Locating (HF-TTL) FCT project and innovative, newly developed detection, monitoring and surveillance systems. The same proven testing and acquisition strategies as HF-TTL FCT will be used. Providing a more cost effective technical solution, this effort will replace legacy surveillance systems with smaller, lighter, more robust, and energy efficient systems. RDT&E cost avoidance for this type of effort is estimated at $2.800 million. Combined operations and support and procurement cost avoidance is expected to be at $25.450 million. Fielding reduction is greater than five years. Project will be completed February 2011.
