JSOC Technology Roadmap Aimpoints UNCLASSIFIED JSOC Technology Roadmap Aimpoints MAJ Ed Churchill Kirk Windmueller JSOC-X JSOC-X 910-243-8078 910-243-8079 churchille@jdi.socom.mil windmuellera.ctr@jdi.socom.mil Autonomous Systems: Distributed computing systems capable of self management to overcome changes or complexities in environments/situations. Autonomous systems (a) take data and intent from operators and the environment and (b) determine solutions and take actions, within the constraints provided by the operator. SCOPE: Enterprise initiatives that leverage sensors and computational decision-making aids to allow select systems to ingest, analyze, and recommend/take physical actions where machine analytics are expected to be more effective, more efficient, or more capable than human analysis. Autonomous Systems Sensor Fusion Sensor Fusion is the ability to collect and format multiple sources of information into a central database that can leverage next generation technologies and provide operators at all levels information that will dramatically enhance the commands effectiveness. SCOPE: Sensor Fusion will be implemented from the Tactical Edge to the IC. Signature Management Signature Management is enterprise initiatives that enable forces to move, observe and engage the enemy and communicate globally while remaining undetected. It includes digital, physical, audible, visual, and electromagnetic signatures. Human Effects Human Effects are tactical-level initiatives that allow us to neutralize or incapacitate a combatant with the intent to capture without the application of lethal force, while limiting / mitigating risk to friendly forces. Includes: Non-lethal munitions, chemical agents, other sensory weapons (audible, visual, psyops, influence, etc). Human Effects also includes enhancing and protecting operators and the workforce. This includes the mental/cognitive and physical aspects of our personnel to increase resilience and overall human function. Influence Warfare Influence Warfare enables SOF maneuver in the cognitive domain. Utilizes next generation targeting to combine CEM, PAI, and commercially procured information for precision delivery of cyber, information, and deception payloads. SCOPE: Enterprise and tactical-level initiatives that allow forces to manipulate adversary’s cognitive process including pattern of life and actions in order to make decisions of our choosing. Includes: Psychological warfare and cyber targeting. UNCLASSIFIED
