The lists will be available for release to Industry, Academia, and National Labs in April 2016.

Exact times/locations for PEO-SW conference session are TBD, but will be available at: http://www.sofic.org/Pages/Default.aspx. 2.JSOC will host a Capabilities Solutions Event in concert with PEO-SOF Warrior's annual Special Operations Forces Warrior Industry Collaboration (SOFWIC) event to be held TBD in October 2016 timeframe. SYNOPSIS: 2016 JSOC Events and Technology Needs List A. INTRODUCTION: This notice is NOT a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The JSOC mission is to conduct studies; training; exercises; research, development, testing, and evaluation; and acquisition and procurement to ensure interoperability among special operations forces (SOF), general purpose forces, and interagency and foreign partners. JSOC has assigned and attached subordinate units and may deploy to support Geographic Combatant Commander's training, exercises, activities, and operations. It is JSOC's desire to inform and influence industry's internal investment decisions in areas that address SOF's most sensitive and urgent needs. Many in industry have expertise, capacity, funding, and a desire to better understand and invest in SOF unique needs. Factors that make this unique collaboration opportunity attractive include: 1) Increasing Military Budget Austerity - SOF is a judicious transition partner whose future resourcing is among the most well-preserved of the military Services. It is JSOC's desire to improve collaboration in an era where budget austerity tends to erect barriers to open communication. 2) Intellectual Property (IP) - The commercialization of dual-use (government/ commercial) technology can reduce costs to the government, but government contracting IP clauses can restrict industry's ability to capitalize on their own IP. Our proposed collaboration model preserves and protects industry's ownership of their intellectual property. B. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this Special Notice is threefold: one, to provide Industry the ability to request the 2016 JSOC Capability Needs list in order to help focus industry research and development decisions toward JSOC's unique needs; two, to provide an overview of the planned events for 2016; and three, to briefly discuss various ways of industry engagement with SOCOM and JSOC. JSOC's Technology Needs listing includes multiple needs in each of the following functional areas: 1.Breaching 2.Communications 3.Electronic Warfare 4.Fire Support 5.Information Technology 6.Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance 7.Knowledge Management 8.Lighten the Load 9.Mobility 10.Scalable Effects Engagement/Non-Lethal 11.Power and Energy 12.Soldier Survival 13.Target Engagement 14.Visual Augmentation 15.Other Need Areas JSOC plans to provide Industry representatives with several engagement options including, but not limited to, submitting responses to the SOCOM Broad Area Announcement (BAA), participating in SOF AT&L hosted Capability Collabortion Events (CCEs) at SOFWERX, submitting applications to participate in SOCOM Technical Experimentation (TE) events, Vendor Loan Agreements (VLA), and entering into a Collaborative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with SOCOM/JSOC.
