“The PM-I programs span various levels of field employment. Garrison programs provide open source and classified data mining and fusion, weapons of mass destruction counter proliferation analyses and location-specific operational planning data capabilities. The forward operating base programs provide tactical data receivers for near real time situational awareness and threat detection. The tactical programs provide man-packable threat warning, force protection, and situational awareness tools for SOF. Airborne and maritime variants for information collection/dissemination and threat warning are also being developed.”
