SOCOM seeks a ballistic helmet display for flying drones and viewing ATAK data
Sources Sought SOFATL-KP_27-06 asks industry for a helmet-mounted first-person view display that lets dismounted special operators see tactical data and control uncrewed systems in contested, all-weather conditions. USSOCOM wants a 50-degree field-of-view display module with certified military ballistic protection, ATAK integration, head tracking, better display performance and a wider environmental envelope, compatible with existing helmets and soldier gear. Responses should cover SOF experience, development milestones and a recommended contract type, including OTAs. It is market research only, no set-aside has been decided, and responses go through the Vulcan portal. Closes Dec. 1, 2026, 3:00 p.m. Eastern.
