The Joint and Special Operations Program (JSOP) which is managed at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC, Crane) conducts Research and Development (R&D) directed toward ordnance and electronics, processes, systems, subsystems and components in support of our nation ™s war fighters. JSOP programs primary technical areas include Individual and Crew Served Weapons, Ordnance, Fire Control Systems, Ground Vehicle Visual Augmentation Systems, Displays & Peripherals, and Night Vision/Electro-Optics for handheld, vehicle mounted and weapon mounted applications. The JSOP program management office is requesting technical whitepapers that address various capability requirements outlined below. These capability requirements were derived from a recent 2011 United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Roadmap Summit between various Government Users, Operators, and Program Representatives. The results of this road-mapping effort and the identified capabilities requirements will be briefed on Thursday, 12 January 2012 at 1300 and should serve to inform industry on true USSOCOM priorities so that industry internal RDT&E efforts can become better focused on specific requirements. Submitted whitepapers are discouraged from being marketing in nature, product focused, or previously submitted ideas. The JSOP program management office is looking for true innovative, out of the box thinking, conceptual approaches, and ideas on how industry can help address the extensive list of capability requirements so that fielded solutions can be realized within two to five (2-5) years. Specific capability requirements are: Sniper Systems Flatter trajectory (higher BC) rounds for 7.62mm, 300 winmag,.338 cal and.50 cal sniper systems that provide increased energy and accuracy at extreme ranges Light weight ammunition Clandestine breakdown sniper system Assault Systems Integrated barrel suppressor with no reduction in barrel/suppressor life Light weight ammunition Personal defense weapon Long range 40mm capability for M320 and/or MK 13 Weapons signature reduction (IR/thermal) that is adaptable to transitional environments Barrel temperature (IR Signature), vibration (accuracy and recoil) and weight reduction Increased barrel life without weight increase Sustainable sound suppressor Crew Served Light weight ammunition Electronic Initiators Simple, reliable, inexpensive time delay timer (mechanical or electrical) Short range command detonated breaching initiator Pursuit deterrent device that meets Rules of Engagement & Treaty requirements Grenades Flash bang / multi-bang capabilities (2 & 6 multi-bang) Concussion grenade capability Air burst fragmentation hand grenade Breaching Non-electric Initiation Systems (Skin-packs and pre-assembled devices) Pre-formed, field-loadable wall breaching containers (Small, Medium, and Large Sizes) Tankless Cutting Torch 40mm standoff door breaching cartridge Standoff wall breaching capabilities Demolition 5 &10 lb Thermobaric Demolition Charges Improved Limpet Systems (charges and initiators) Improved Man Portable Line Charge (MPLC) for IED clearing Pyrotechnics / Other Extended range tactical IR marking cartridge ƒ Head-mounted Device capable of seamless transition from low light to high light (transition time) Device capable of seamless transition to weapon sight while wearing NODs Device capable of jamming enemy analog image intensified device Device capable of adaptive multi-spectral night vision Device capable of increased field of view without loss of resolution Device capable of import/export data or images for enhanced situational awareness Device capable of true color night vision Wireless universal power source Image fusion on a chip, reduce weight and power, improved refresh rate Hand Held INOD compatible spotter scope capability (match INOD range & spectrum) Device capable of capturing biometric data to facilitate facial recognition at maximum range (1500 “ 2000m) Hand held device capable of adaptive multispectral night vision Device capable of import/export data or images Device capable of sensing wind speed/direction to max range (1500 “ 2000m) and calculate required ballistic offsets Reduce size, weight and power for smaller pocket configurations Weapon Mounted Wireless universal power source rail system Device capable of capturing biometric data to facilitate facial recognition at maximum range (1500 “ 2000m) Weapon mounted device capable of adaptive multispectral night vision Import/export data or images Device capable of sensing wind speed/direction to max range (1500 “ 2000m) and calculate required ballistic offsets Range dependent disturbed reticule sight Small, lightweight combination sight for 5.56mm and 7.62mm assault weapons optimized for both mid-range (6X/8X-15X/18X) and CQB (e.g. Holographic Red Dot) Lasers Long Range “ image data transmission for communication /intelligence gathering Non-proliferated band (out of band) illuminator/laser/sensor for sniper applications IR laser illuminator adjustable for short-range urban to long-range use in one package ƒ Visible day light marker for rotary and fixed wing combat air support (hand-held) Instantaneous observe & locate device capable of providing targeting data for fire support (hand-held) Lightweight full spectrum combined marker capable of marking targets in any of the applicable spectrums (hand-held) Radio equipment that will allow direct two-way communications in RF saturated environments and dense jungle (Man-portable) Light weight system that can precisely locate enemy artillery, mortar, and rocket fire (man-portable) Commercial GPS functionality with SASSM compliance (ultra-light weight) Precision mapping functionality within commercial mapping programs (example Google maps) Joint planning workstation (plan, coordinate, de-conflict) that is compatible with all service and SOCOM elements/assets Organic Precision Strike Systems (short, medium, and long range) Combined identify friend and foe systems (IFF) that are compatible with all asset systems Wireless universal power source (ultra-light weight) Human Machine Interface (HMI) that is built smaller and lighter and considers ergonomics of use during construction Non-organic Fire Support Munitions that are responsive with trained personnel Interested parties are strongly encouraged to submit an initial synopsis (commonly referred to as "white paper").
