BAA for Advancement of Technologies for Use by Special Operations Forces

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is seeking white papers from responsible sources for the advancement of technologies that can be used by Special Operations Forces. The technologies of interest include Battlespace Awareness, Multi-Domain Communications & Computing, Human Interface, Scalable Precision Effects, and Emplacement and Access. The goal is to develop a Hyper-Enabled Force that can operate in a complex and dynamic environment. The BAA is open for 5 years, and white papers can be submitted at any time during this period. * Key technology areas: * Battlespace Awareness * Multi-Domain Communications & Computing * Human Interface * Scalable Precision Effects * Emplacement and Access * The technologies should be able to integrate with existing systems and provide capabilities across domains, spectra, and decision-making echelons. * The Hyper-Enabled Force will have technologies that permit the persistent, near real-time collection of data, the rapid, automated distillation of that data into mission-relevant information, and the dissemination of that information to the personnel who require or can best use it.
