Program Executive Office for Fixed Wing (PEO-FW), relentlessly develops and delivers Special Operations (SO)-peculiar manned and unmanned fixed-wing solutions to effectively enable airpower capabilities for Special Operations Forces (SOF). PEO-FW collaborates with SOF end-users, Research & Development activities, Academia, and Industry Partners to synchronize acquisition efforts resulting in the development, testing, procurement, and fielding of an array of capabilities. These acquisition efforts include advanced technology sensors, weapon systems, defensive countermeasures, advanced avionics, and mission-training systems.
USSOCOM’s manned and unmanned fixed-wing aircraft provide the backbone for SOF airborne capabilities such as aerial refueling support, airborne precision engagement, and aerial intelligence, surveillance, & reconnaissance (ISR). They provide SOF with the global ability to infiltrate, exfiltrate, and resupply in hostile denied environments leveraging air assets such as the MC-130J Talon III and CV-22 Osprey. PEO-FW portfolio also includes the AC-130J Ghostrider, and the upcoming OA-1K Skyraider II providing critical precision engagement and close-air support using both service-common weapons and SO-peculiar Stand-off Precision Guided Munitions to engage a variety of targets. The final component of the PEO-FW portfolio is the Airborne ISR systems, which includes the U-28A aircraft, JAVAMAN, MC-12 Liberty, MQ-1C, and MQ-9. These manned and unmanned systems deliver real-time Global ISR support to Combatant Commanders. The high operational tempo of these aircraft requires innovative means to incorporate capability and sustainment improvements while ensuring necessary aircraft availability.
The PEO roundtables are intended to be an opportunity for firms to gain a general overview of the PEO. These roundtables are not meant to be an opportunity for firms to present their capabilities to USSOCOM, or to receive a forecast of upcoming requirements.
