20 Technical Development 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

21 Undersea Vehicle Energy Storage Systems 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)

22 Undersea Vehicle Energy Storage Systems 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

23 Combat Swimmer Thermal Protection 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

24 Combat Swimmer Thermal Protection Objective Thermal protection in ambient water temperatures anywhere for 2-35 degrees C for 12 hours. (Maintain dexterity and core 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

25 Lightweight, Small Volume CO 2 Removal Technology 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 CO 2 volume absorbed to absorbent volume (VRCO 2 ) at 21 o C for each of these systems is VRCO 2 =120 As the temperature decreases, present systems remove less CO 2

26 Lightweight, Small Volume CO 2 Removal Technology Objective CO 2 removal technologies that can meet or approach a performance objective of 240 VRCO 2 over a temperature range of 2 o C to 35 o C and demonstrates equivalent or decreased breathing resistance as current systems

27 Surface Systems Craft Propulsion Systems 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

28 Surface Systems Craft Propulsion Systems Objective Power/weight ratio of 1.0 hp/lb and/or fuel efficiency of 0.1lb/hp-h at cruise speed hours between overhauls Burn High Sulfur Fuel. Multi-Fuel Engine DFM to JP-8 (including bio-fuels)

29 Lightweight Armor 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

30 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
