TDL Analysis and Operations Experience: A minimum of four (4) years of recent experience performing TDL analysis or operating USAF TDL systems using applicable military standards (US Mil-Std 3011, 6011, 6016, 6017, 6020, 6040, 188-220, and 2045-47001).
Web Content Development and Management Experience: At least one (1) year of experience with web content development and management.
Proficiency in: Research and analysis of Tactical Data Link (TDL) system test reports and implementation databases to characterize information exchange across TDLs.
Development and maintenance of TDL Capabilities and Limitations (C&L) information, including technically approved Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) for USAF TDL systems.
Technical authoring and editing of C&L content using terminology and examples relevant to USAF combat operators.
Vetting technical content with weapon system Program Offices and Program Office-assigned Subject Matter Experts to ensure accuracy, validity, and relevance.

Responsibilities

Data Collection: Research TDL systems test reports and implementation databases to characterize how warfighters share information across TDLs. Data collection efforts will focus on providing TDL C&L information and technically approved Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) on AF TDL systems.
Technical Authoring: After collecting technical information, review inputs and update the C&L information on the site to reflect the jointly agreed-upon core TDL aspects. Present the C&L information concisely and practically, using terminology and examples relevant to USAF combat operators.
Information Vetting: Distribute newly developed C&L material to the appropriate weapon system’s technical community for their agreement on its validity and relevance. This includes vetting by the weapon system’s Program Office or Program Office-assigned Subject Matter Expert (SME).
Technical Editing: Ensure all C&L information meets the agreed-upon C&L business rules, including ensuring proper security classification markings are applied to all material, as well as checking spelling and formatting for consistency and correctness.
Research, draft, and coordinate as required to develop interoperability reports for platforms that are included in the C&L Operator Research Tool.
Research and gather information to develop Background Papers, staff studies, Talking Papers, or presentation materials as assigned by the Government.
