• Coordinate with collection managers, PED crews, mission partners and asset operators to keep tasking, exploitation and reporting synchronized.
• Support both deliberate planning and time-sensitive dynamic operations, including handoffs across shifts on a 24 hour, 7 day watch.
• Produce turnover, shift, and post-mission documentation capturing tasking decisions, collection achieved, and unfilled requirements.
• Recommend improvements to ISR tasking processes, tools, and battle rhythm.
• Other duties may be assigned.
