About The Position

Leverage intelligence research experience and foreign conventional weapons knowledge to perform threat analysis and characterization. Analyze, characterize, and assess foreign threats based on all available information in the intelligence community (IC) record (GEOINT, SIGINT, MASINT, HUMINT, OSINT), threat characterization studies that extend beyond the intelligence record, and SME experience and judgment. Primary analytic focus is PRC aircraft & aircraft weapons (e.g., next generation fighter aircraft, bombers, long-range air-to-air missiles, standard and hypersonic cruise missiles), with additional expertise/analytic responsibilities for space (e.g., long- range ballistic and maneuverable missiles, hypersonic glide vehicles, fractional orbital bombardment systems), maritime (e.g., surface and subsurface vessels equipped with long-range strike weapons), and terrestrial (e.g., ground-mobile launch and long-range strike platforms, air-defense and over-the-horizon surveillance and fire control systems) systems. Provide assessments on system capabilities, performance, signatures, employment, research and development activities, timelines, designs, and configurations. Tailor assessments to inform client initiatives working to generate, evaluate, and recommend force designs for U.S. space-based systems, services and architectures. Apply knowledge of weapon system architectures, networks, and technology along with experience using IC tools and databases to identify, extract, and analyze pertinent information and provide technical analysis to support protection initiatives. Engage IC partners, and DIAP authorities to develop integrated analysis plans, solicit further insights and collaborate on additional research. Identify information gaps and threat information needs to task IC entities via standard IC tasking processes and request for information tools to conduct additional collection and analysis. Author and coordinate threat assessment products on foreign missile programs combining intelligence information and Department of Defense (DoD) technical and operations analysis in collaboration with IC and DoD partners.
