USSOCOM PEOs
• PEOs are acquisition organizations that reside within Special Operations Research, Development, and Acquisition Center ( SORDAC) – Goal is to fulfill the needs of the SOF
• A PEO is a military or civilian official – Has responsibility for directing several Major Defense
Acquisition Programs (MDAPs) and non-major system acquisition programs
– Normally has no other command or staff responsibilities
– Reports to and receives guidance from the DoD Component Acquisition Executive (CAE)

To deliver Special Operations (SO)-peculiar manned and unmanned fixed wing airpower capabilities to effectively enable Special Operations Forces (SOF)
PEO-FW partners with the Warfighter and various development and support organizations to synchronize acquisition activities to field an array of advanced technology sensors, defensive countermeasures, advanced avionics, munitions and gun systems, and mission training systems
The low-density, high-demand nature of the SOF fixed wing fleet is a key driver in the acquisition approaches used to continue to improve and sustain the force. The high operational tempo of these aircraft requires innovative means to incorporate capability and sustainment improvements while ensuring adequate aircraft availability

Objectives • Definitive quantitative objectives to better inform researchers
about the state-of-the-art and where USSOCOM would like technology progress focused
• We desire SIGNIFICANT increases in capability of combat systems within the PEO’s portfolio
Technical Development
UNCLASSIFIED
Current Status • SOF requires advanced energy storage systems which have
significantly higher storage capacity
• Existing systems use Silver-Zinc Batteries
• Lithium-ion Systems present significant risk (mitigation strategies required)
Undersea Vehicle Energy Storage Systems
UNCLASSIFIED
Objectives • Meet or approach a performance objective of storing and
delivering 1.5 kWh per liter and/or 0.6 kWh per kg of electrical energy
• Consider fuel cells or other types of sources that deliver similar energy
• Mitigate risk of high energy density thermal run-a-way
Undersea Vehicle Energy Storage
Systems
UNCLASSIFIED
Current Status • Combat Swimmers require thermal protection / regulation
(Cold / Warm)
• Wetsuits: Reduce water flow across the diver’s body increasing temperature of water near diver’s body which decreases difference in temperature
• Dry suits: Surrounds diver with air which has less heat transfer
Combat Swimmer Thermal Protection
UNCLASSIFIED
Objective • Thermal protection in ambient water temperatures
anywhere for 2-35 degrees C for 12 hours. (Maintain dexterity and core temperature @ 37 degrees C)
• Provide protection for diver’s extremities and core, such that the diver will not have reduced off-gassing in the extremities due to decreased blood flow
Combat Swimmer Thermal Protection
UNCLASSIFIED
Current Status • Existing underwater breathing apparatus (UBA) systems (Mk
25 and Mk 16) have an absorbent volume between 2.9 and 4.0 liters
• The ratio of CO2 volume absorbed to absorbent volume (VRCO2) at 21oC for each of these systems is VRCO2=120
• As the temperature decreases, present systems remove less CO2
Lightweight, Small Volume CO2
Removal Technology
UNCLASSIFIED
Objective • CO2 removal technologies that can meet or approach a
performance objective of 240 VRCO2 over a temperature range of 2oC to 35oC and demonstrates equivalent or decreased breathing resistance as current systems
Lightweight, Small Volume CO2
Removal Technology
UNCLASSIFIED
Current Status • SOF combatant craft require advanced power systems that
provide significantly better power/weight ratios (e.g., maximum hp/lb) at top speed and significantly better fuel efficiency (e.g., (lb/hp-h)) at the most efficient speed (cruise speed)
• Current craft engines have a power/weight ratio of approximately 0.38 hp/lb at maximum speed and a specific fuel consumption of 0.35 lb/hp-h at cruise speed
Surface Systems Craft Propulsion Systems
UNCLASSIFIED
Objective • Power/weight ratio of 1.0 hp/lb and/or fuel efficiency of
0.1lb/hp-h at cruise speed. • 2000 hours between overhauls
• Burn High Sulfur Fuel. • Multi-Fuel Engine • DFM to JP-8 (including bio-fuels)
Surface Systems Craft Propulsion Systems
UNCLASSIFIED
Current Status • Dyneema based Armor is installed on the Special Operations
Craft Riverine • Provides NIJ Level III protection • Captures bullets off angle to prevent ricochet and
fragmentation • Approximately 3.5 pounds per square foot
Objective • NIJ Level IV protection • Capture bullets at all incidence angles • Lighter than 3.5 pounds per square foot
Lightweight Armor
UNCLASSIFIED
Wireless Intercom Communication
Current Status • Current Intercom System on Craft is tethered to user • Connected to Type I encrypted radios • Six Channels can be selected
Objective • Equivalent Wireless System • All wireless communications are Type I encrypted • Use of system that can be slightly modified in order to
avoid full NSA certification process • Pass full video among users and external sensors • Use of other than normal frequencies • Signal is attenuated to below noise floor levels outside
craft confines
UNCLASSIFIED
• Nano-technology that renders maritime equipment, including electronics, impervious to seawater penetration
- Instead of waterproof bags
• Anti-corrosion Metallurgical Process for Metal Components - Metallurgical process that provides maximum corrosion protection
for all metals used in SOF maritime equipment that is not a plating or coating
- This includes engine components, weapons, communications, navigation, dive equipment, hull, mechanical, etc.
Other Technology Areas of Interest
UNCLASSIFIED
