On October 29, the U.S. Special Operations Command posted a needs statement ahead of an upcoming solutions meeting. All applications to participate in the solutions meeting must be received on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern on November 29.
United States Special Operations Command is interested in improvements and enhancements to visual augmentation systems (VAS) and related auxiliary technologies. This also includes Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) solutions for Head’s Up Displays (HUD) and fusion of disparate data sources into a common visual display. The Department of Defense Rapid Reaction Technology (RRTO) Innovation Outreach Program will partner with SOCOM to conduct a Solutions Meeting in the Laurel, MD area in February 2019. The Solutions Meeting provides selected innovative companies with an opportunity to make short technical presentations to government representatives about their technologies and products. There is potential that companies may be selected for pilot projects or experimentation if their technology appears to match the needs described below.
United States Special Operations Command is looking for innovative technologies and capabilities in the following topic areas (candidate technology can be a stand-alone system or a potential component of a system):
Heads up Display (HUD)
Transparent display
Compatible with night vision goggles (NVG)
High Definition/Low Latency resolution
