Description

Concept Overview

United States Special Operations Command-s (USSOCOM) Directorate of Science and Technology (S&T) Futures and UK Strategic Command (UKStratCom) seek to develop concepts under the theme, “Smart Cities: Future Challenges for Special Operations Forces (SOF). The event seeks to explore the challenges of physical and remote SOF operations in a range of future complex smart cities scenarios. In support of those efforts, a Rapid Capability Assessment (RCA) will be conducted on the 16th - 20th of September 2024 in the UK and will require full-time participation (

0830-1700 UTC each day) from successful applicants.



A precursor event, Innovation Foundry 15 (IF15), explored the rapidly changing nature of SOF-s future operating environment which will increasingly involve smart, interconnected cities. More than 50% of humanity resides in cities, and by 2030 there will be more than 60 cities globally with populations between 5 and 10 million. Many of these cities will be located within global resource hot spots in an increasingly multi-polar world order that challenges hegemonic legacies. These dense urban areas are becoming ever more complex; socially, physically, and technologically.



RCA15 aims to support and inform the next step in the USSOCOM S&T Futures and UKStratCom process. During this event, selected concepts from early stages, will be developed further into concept capabilities. A group of experts from industry, academia, and defense will develop potential capability solutions that include market research of possible technology partners, a subsystem-level architectural breakdown, and a technology development roadmap. The teams will also generate initial Work Breakdown Structures and potential contract language to support follow-on capability definition.
