Description

SAIC is seeking an Joint Interface Control Cell (JICC) Subject Matter Expert (SME) to support cutting edge US Air Force Live Virtual and Constructive (LVC) Exercises. The SME will support the Command and Control Support Services (C2TSC) program at the Distributed Mission Operations Center (DMOC) at Kirtland AFB, NM. (This is an onsite position at Kirtland, no remote option).

The SME shall support planning meetings, develop, and execute test plans, develop scenarios, and ensure internal systems are functional prior to event execution. During planning and execution, the SME shall bring credible expertise in Tactical Data Link architectures and network management.

The SME will provide mission area support for white force execution, operation of classified Command and Control systems, operation of virtual systems identified in government directions document, interact and be familiar with Air Operations Center integration/support, and participate in scenario review to ensure desired exercise learning objectives are achievable.

DMOC is the premier unit responsible for implementing LVC exercises for the US Air Force, including Joint and Coalition Modeling and Simulation (M&S) training.

C2TSC is responsible for:

• Designing, building, and executing the Large Force LVC Exercises.
• Integrating.
• Provides legacy and emerging M&S solutions across the USAF and the DoD.
• Provides cutting edge tactical to operational simulation and synthetic training as the critical capability to augment live training, act as an enabler for critical decision-making, and enhanced human performance.
• In the current resource constrained environment, demand for M&S rises with the continuously evolving need for operational readiness and mission preparedness across the USAF, DoD, and with coalition partners.
• C2TSC focuses on providing innovative M&S services as the key to meeting this demand.

The JICC SME will:

• Translate operational JICC training requirements into exercise design, build, and execution.
• Support requirements definition for Virtual and Constructive simulations, scenario generation tools, mission planning tools, interactive system requirements, and exercise collaboration tools.
• Work with system engineers to plan, coordinate support for, and execute system integration testing and will operate selected Command and Control datalink systems, within the DMOC, to support integration and Virtual Flag/other exercise scenario executions.
• Cover all Tactical Datalink mission areas with regards to exercise planning, development, and execution to support warfighter training requirements across the joint services and coalition partners.
• Interface with other mission SMEs to form a theater level exercise that integrate the missions and represent the challenges facing the DoD today and in the future.
• Support three Virtual Flags, with one Virtual Flag involving coalition partners, and two Bamboo Eagle exercises annually, as well as specialize warfighter focused events, C2 weapons school training, and other events with specialized training objectives.
• Integrate training objectives with the framework of military networks, Combat Air Force Standards, disparate simulator protocols, and connectivity requirements within the Distributed Mission Operations construct.

Qualifications

• Military Analyst: MS (Applied Statistics, Operations Research, Mathematics, or related discipline) with 3 years' experience; or BS in same fields with 5 years relevant experience; or no degree with 10 years relevant experience.
• JICC qualified.
• Must understand exercise design, development and training principles associate with AFTTP mission threads.
• Familiar with OPSTASK LINK, ATOs, ACOs, SPINs, TNLs, ACP, AOD, RTL, JMSEL, etc.
• Experienced with Mission Planning tools.

Desired Qualifications

• Joint Interface Control Officer (JICO) qualified. within the last 5 years.
• Down range experience with an AOC.
• Test/Engineering background - OT and/or DT.
• Experienced with various military networks; DMON, JTEN, ARCNets, etc.
• Knowledge of Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS).
• Understanding of: DMO network architectures, Information Assurance requirements and DMO standards, Constructive Force Simulation Generators, Simulator operations, LVC operations; protocols, enumerations, Distributed Information Sharing.
