• Synchronize software and system integration efforts with INSCOM G3 (Operations), G6 (Networks), PM IS&A, and Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) partners to bridge the gap between intelligence collection and fires/targeting networks.
• Provide feasible and actionable recommendations and technical risk assessments to INSCOM G7 leadership via white papers and Army Memos regarding data fabric modernization, AI/ML integration, and legacy system decommissioning.
• Oversee the alignment of individual intelligence discipline systems with IC/DoD data standards, ensuring that data from disparate sources (SIGINT, GEOINT, OSINT) can be queried, correlated, and exploited globally.
