Mission Systems Planning Tech

OverviewAs a Mission Planning Systems Tech you will have the opportunity to do the following:Provide expert test and evaluation (T&E) support for various Advanced Sensor Technologies Program Office (AST PO) mission planning systems and C4I systems associated with the Advanced Airborne Sensor (AAS) including, but not limited to, TacMobile, TMAAS, Minotaur, DDMC, Common Data Link (CDL), Link-16, TARDIS, and TFAS. Serve as the subject matter expert (SME) for the given systems supporting all phases of ground and flight testing including documentation, security and Information Assurance (IA) coordination, execution, asset scheduling, media tracking and configuration management, data dissemination, analysis, metrics development, verification, and reporting tasks.Develop documentation including procedures and processes for mission planning systems that are accurate, repeatable and thoroughly meet T&E objectives and maximize asset availabilityCollaborate with program staff, supporting organizations and system-development contractors to efficiently resolve any issuesCoordinate test support activities with other DoD and Navy organizations as they relate to mission planning systemsCoordinate and deploy mission planning systems to remote detachment sites in support of test activities. Travel and provide on-site support. Travel may be up 15%.Coordinate with AST PO and Navy security and information assurance (IA) teams to ensure all mission planning systems maintain their Authority To Operate (ATO) and meet all security and IA guidelines. Support compliance inspections and datacallsEffectively track all media associated with mission planning systems with thorough configuration management practices.Coordinate dissemination of post-flight data from mission planning systems to internal and external data customersPerform test and evaluation of mission planning systems with test planning and test execution. Perform evaluation of test data by analyzing results, assessing compliance with system specifications, operational requirements and accurately presenting the analysis and status in briefs and test reports.Assist government in development of concepts and in long-range planning for integration and test of future mission planning systemsResponsibilitiesProvide expert test and evaluation (T&E) support for various Advanced Sensor Technologies Program Office (AST PO) mission planning systems and C4I systems associated with the Advanced Airborne Sensor (AAS) including, but not limited to, TacMobile, TMAAS, Minotaur, DDMC, Common Data Link (CDL), Link-16, TARDIS, and TFAS.
