Whether special operations teams swim or parachute into remote areas and spend a few hours or a few days gathering information, the technology they carry has many of the same attributes. Their load comprises compact equipment with long operating times and versatile capabilities.
Special operations forces use the full spectrum of military technology, featuring the latest advances in electronics. They are always searching for the newest systems in technologies as varied as man-portable gear, such as night vision goggles, or the latest sensors used on drones. Satellite and cellular communications also are a critical aspect of the command and control side of special operations.
