Technical Experimentation (TE)

Apply now!

USSOCOM conducts Technical Experimentation (TE) events throughout the United States to provide an opportunity for technology developers to interact with SOF to determine how their technology development efforts and ideas may support and enhance SOF capability requirements. This TE-event, called TE25-1, will be the first international TE event. It will be staged at Rena, Norway.


TE25-1 will highlight technologies with the potential to support US/Norwegian and Allied special operations in Arctic environments. This includes technologies developed for high-latitude regions, cold weather operations, long periods of darkness, and cross-over conditions. TE25-1 will explore emerging technology solutions and revolutionary capability enhancements and are looking for materiel solutions with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 3 or greater.


Do you want to demonstrate your solution at TE25-1?

The deadline for nomination package(s) is July 25, 2024 at 12:00 Noon US DST.

Please read the announcement on SAM.gov for further instructions. Technology experimentation nominations shall be submitted electronically by creating a Scout Card in the Vulcan system at vulcan-sof.com by July 25, 2024 at 12:00.

Scout Cards should be created within the call for TE 25-1 Technical Experimentation: Arctic Technical Experimentation. Associated technology experiments with distinctly different uses or applications should have a separate nomination submitted by each respondent. US and NOR personnel will review submissions to determine whether an experiment submission will be accepted for invitation to attend the TE event.
