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)

UNCLASSIFIED

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)

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
