By On February 3, the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) posted a request for information (RFI) for its 2025 Tactical Forensics Event. Responses are due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern on February 14.
USSOCOM, Special Operations Forces-Acquisition Technology and Logistics (SOF AT&L), Program Executive Office-Tactical Information Systems (PEO-TIS), Program Management Office-Identity Intelligence and Exploitation (PMO-I2E) seeks information on specific technology areas to gain knowledge of, explore, and identify potential methodologies and available capabilities in the examination of Uncrewed Systems (UxS) Exploitation, Vehicle Forensics, Document and Media Exploitation (DOMEX), and Borescope Camera solutions.
Specific areas of interest:
(1) UxS Exploitation Capabilities: Solutions capable of conducting physical and logical extractions from UxS platforms to support exploitation operations. These tools must enable the acquisition of various types of data including but not limited to flight paths, mission logs, payload and sensor data, command-and-control communications, firmware and software, artifacts, encryption keys, system configurations, and metadata. The solution should provide broad compatibility with diverse UxS platforms, including ariel, ground, and maritime systems, regardless of manufacturer or proprietary architecture. Tools must ensure the integrity of the extracted data while being capable of rapid deployment in disrupted, disconnected, intermittent, and low bandwidth (DDIL) environments.
(2) Vehicle Forensics Exploitation Capabilities: Tools should enable the extraction and analysis of data from infotainment and telematics systems, key fobs, location & navigation services, connected devices, vehicle diagnostics, and Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) to support operational exploitation of modern and legacy vehicle systems. Capabilities should also include remote access solutions, JTAG interfaces, CPU architecture support, and ECU debugging tools for deep system analysis. The ability to exploit diverse vehicle platforms including passenger, commercial, and military vehicles is critical. Solutions must preserve the integrity of the data and operate in austere environments.
(3) Document and Media Exploitation (DOMEX) Capabilities: Tools, equipment, and software to conduct non-destructive Cellular Exploitation (CELLEX) and Media Exploitation (MEDEX) in support of but not limited to the extraction, compilation, translation, and analysis of contextual information that is stored into DoD recognized formats for the purpose of aggregation and comparison against other data locally and through authoritative databases. These technologies include, but are not limited to, all forms of digital storage media capable of being exploited. At a minimum, the ability to create a digital copy of encrypted and non-encrypted storage media is desired.
(4) Borescope Camera Capabilities: Commercially available or developmental waterproof borescope cameras capable of capturing high-resolution 4K imagery and video in a variety of operational environments. The system should feature a minimum 5-foot flexible or semi-rigid scope to enable detailed inspections in confined or hard-to-reach areas. It must include adjustable, controllable lighting to enhance visibility in low-light conditions and the ability to capture both still images and video with minimal latency. The camera should be ruggedized for durability in austere environments and include a removable, rechargeable battery to support extended operational use. Compatibility with existing USSOCOM data transmission and storage systems is highly desirable.
