Fires: equipping operators for close air support coordination of surface-based and air-to-surface fires, communications architecture, weapons data, digital fire support, and target designation and marking. (This mission is accomplished by personnel assigned to AFSOC and ACC). Special Reconnaissance (SR): This mission area expands on the former Special Operations Weather Team Role. �SR Airmen conduct multi-domain reconnaissance and surveillance (R&S) across the spectrum of conflict with focus on lethal and non-lethal air-to-ground integration of airpower. �USAF SR are AFSOC�s subject matter experts on principles of R&S, precision engagement, Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) operations, and electronic warfare/electronic attack (EW/EA). �USAF SR answer information and intelligence requirements focused on providing Global Access for Joint Air Forces. �Acquisition, procurement, and sustainment programs may involve C4I (computing and communications), robotics, vehicles/transportation, long-range weaponry, sensors and tracking equipment (personal, ground, and unmanned), and specialized mission equipment for EW/EA as well as traditional environmental (weather) observation and forecasting tools and software applications. Personnel Recovery (PR): equipping pararescuemen to prepare, recover and reintegrate isolated personnel.� PR capabilities include, but are not limited to:� PR information management, locating survivors, rescue and recovery tools, analyzing environmental conditions, mass casualty management, recovery support, and reintegration.� Enabling Capabilities: common across all mission sets and career fields; include mission management, friendly force detection, geo-locating and range finding, visual augmentation, communications, unmanned capabilities, infiltration/exfiltration, and enhanced training. UPDATE, 1 March 2021 -vendor questions posted as supplementary attachment.�
