Weapons Systems Analyst, Senior The Opportunity:
Leverage experience with operations of foreign conventional weapon s systems to orchestrate and prioritize team threat analysis and characterization efforts. Provide technical direction or subject matter expertise to guide intelligence analysis efforts focused on foreign air and missile defense systems, integrated air defense systems ( IADS ) , radars, command and control ( C2 ) , interceptors, effectors, and threat-system operations. Conduct engineering analyses and reverse-engineering studies to determine architecture inter- and intra-dependencies. Serve as a technical advisor to efforts supporting foreign threat system analysis, foreign materiel exploitation ( FME ) , technical signals intelligence ( SIGINT ) analysis, radar and electronic order-of-battle assessment, and threat-system performance characterization. Guide analytic approaches for characterizing foreign sensor, C2, and weapon -system capabilities, including radar modes, operating concepts, e nga gement timelines, kill-chain behavior, system-of-systems integration, mobility, survivability, and operational employment. Lead analysis of foreign ground-based air defense radars, missile defense radars, fire-control radars, acquisition and surveillance radars, command posts, launchers, interceptors, and asso cia ted communications and data-link architectures. Assess draft Research and Development system products and timelines, designs, configurations, capabilities, performance, operations, employment strategies, and signatures to evaluate products validity, stability and rigor. Tailor assessments informing space initiatives generating, evaluating, and recommending force designs that enhance U.S. space-based systems, services, and architectures such as those for ISR and missile warning. Translate intelligence findings into actionable technical insights for missile defense architecture assessment, test planning, modeling and simulation ( M & S ) , system engineering, and operational threat representation.
