Summary This position is focused on providing modeling and simulation (M&S) support services at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas in support of the Medical Capabilities Development Integration Directorate (MED CDID), Futures and Concept Center (FCC). The contractor will provide diverse M&S subject-matter expertise in support of operational and organizational (O&O) concept design, Army capability requirements identification (formations, functions, science, and technology), and future study plans (experimentation) to meet Army modernization objectives and other responsibilities. Roles and Responsibilities Conduct the adaptation, modification, and employment of constructive (human-in-the-loop) M&S software tools such as One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF), or comparable military entity-level simulation systems used to support Army experimentation and analysis. Leverage Army-developed, proprietary, and open-source M&S tools (and combinations thereof) to simulate the Army Health System at varying echelons and within varying conceptual frameworks. Conduct the scenario database development and runtime administration of M&S tools in support of simulation-driven experiments such as Unified Challenge, Project Convergence, DIVx, and other MED CDID‑internal experimentation venues. Support federated constructive simulation experiments (BLCSE) involving Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS), High Level Architecture (HLA), and/or Bi‑Frost‑compliant simulation tools. Configure entity‑level simulation tools to stimulate Mission‑Command systems, Army Medical management systems and other relevant information systems forming a given experimentation C2 architecture. Support experimentation venues across Army warfighting functions and cross‑functional teams where medical M&S equities are represented, requiring either on‑site or distributed participation (BLCSE). Participate in M&S technical and Experiment project‑based working groups within MED CDID, and across the Army Experimentation community‑of‑practice (BLCSE). Qualifications The individual selected must have a strong mix of the following education, experience, qualifications, skills: Bachelor’s or master’s Degree - in Modeling and Simulation, Operations Research/Systems Analysis, Mathematics, Engineering, Information Systems Management, Computer Science or Business Administration. Technical proficiency employing constructive simulation software tools such as OneSAF and JDLM in both standalone and federated environments. Experience leveraging U.S. Army decision support systems within the medical and sustainment warfighting functional areas for both Army training and experimentation domains. Four (4) years of experience working in U.S. Army institutions focused on strategic, operational or tactical‑level force modernization. Clear and successful record of experience working in high‑performing/mission‑oriented organizations reliant upon the implementation of modeling and simulation. Experience with or exposure to Army experimentation, capability development, or AFC‑FCC Battle Labs is highly desired.
