• Research Cedalion or its follow-on and other multi-disciplined IC databases to acquire amplifying or clarifying information in support of research and analysis.
• Produce standard and non-standard FMV imagery analysis products, such as motion imagery summary reports and tailored mission-specific products.
• Conduct imagery research and analysis by researching imagery to meet current USMC requirements to include, but not limited to, NRO Overhead Systems, aircraft, FMV, and civil/commercial sensors to answer detailed Information Requirements.
• Create and provide metadata to support structured observations in support of the DoD, USMC, and/or IC initiatives.
• Provide analysts capable of simultaneously being able to view, exploit, record and touch type (minimum of 40 words/minute) live FMV exploitation comments in support of operational FMV missions.
• Identify targets and target-related activities by understanding Order of Battle for mission related geolocations.
• Conduct target research in support of exploitation activities to provide amplifying information and context to information requirements and to inform the exploitation team.
• Analyze existing information and intelligence to identify gaps in coverage/knowledge in order to investigate all sources of intelligence to fill those gaps.
• Conduct data mining using various databases, open-source reporting, digital video archives, and other intelligence sources.
• Provide multimedia production in support of exploitation activities.
• Provide peer-to-peer assessments when analysts require evaluations and when analysts need to be tested on their position.
• Conduct multi-INT research, exploitation, organization, prioritization, processing, analysis, production, and dissemination of intelligence information in accordance with (IAW) Government priorities, policies, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).
