A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: The Special Operations Forces (SOF) Tactical Radio Systems program element is for
development of all SOF radio programs. The SOF mission mandates that SOF systems remain technologically superior to any threat to provide a
maximum degree of survivability. SOF units require radio communication equipment that improves their warfighting capability without degrading
their mobility.
United States Special Operations Command has developed an overall strategy to ensure that Tactical Radio Systems continue to provide SOF with
the required capabilities throughout the 21st century. The Tactical Radios provide the critical Command, Control, and Communication link
between SOF Commanders and SOF Teams involved in overseas contingency operations (OCO) and training exercises. They also provide
interoperability with all Services, various agencies of the U.S. Government, Air Traffic Control, commercial agencies, and allied foreign forces.
Tactical Radios rapidly and seamlessly establish and maintain mobile and fixed Command and Control communications between
infiltrated/operational elements and higher echelon headquarters, allowing SOF to operate with any force combination in multiple environments.

A. MISSION AND DESCRIPTION: The SOF Tactical Radio Systems project is for development of all SOF radio programs. The SOF
mission mandates that SOF systems remain technologically superior to any threat to provide a maximum degree of survivability. SOF units
require radio communication equipment that improves their warfighting capability without degrading their mobility. Sub-project:
• Special Mission Radio System (SMRS). Effort develops Low Probability of Intercept/Low Probability of Detection (LPI/LPD) waveforms
for SOCOM tactical radio application.
