At any given moment, SOF are likely to be engaged in some state of the planning or execution of special operations in many countries around the world, spanning a wide range of environments and mission. SOF therefore must be capable of operating in environments ranging from tropical jungle to arctic, maritime to desert, subterranean to mountainous, and rural to urban. Within this vast range additional factors may influence technical and operational requirements including weather, topography, bathymetry, geology, flora, fauna, and human population density. All of these factors must be weighed in terms of the challenges they pose to supporting communications and operational security. In short, SOF must maintain the capability to operate globally, in any environment, angainst any threats that can be countered by its unique capabilities. Sensing and Supporting Communications Capabilities for Special Operations Forces focuses primarily on the key core SOF task of special reconnaissance, to determine SOF-specific sensing and supporting communications needs and mapping them to existing and emerging technologies. The book discusses preliminary observations, issuees, and challenges, and identifies additional capabilities and technology areas that should be addressed. 606 $aCommunications, Military$xPlanning 606 $aCommand and control systems$zUnited States 606 $aSpecial forces (Military science)$zUnited States$xCommunication systems 615 0$aCommunications, Military$xPlanning. 615 0$aCommand and control systems 615 0$aSpecial forces (Military science)$xCommunication systems. 676 $a358.24 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bStanding Committee on Research, Development, and Acquisition Options for U.S. Special Operations Command. 712 02$aU.S. Special Operations Command. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956339603321 996 $aSensing and supporting communications capabilities for special operations forces$94473661 997 $aUNINA
