Emerging Requirements Analyst
About The Position
The Emerging Requirements Analyst supports the Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF 401) within the Data, Analysis, Requirements, and Training (DART) Directorate. JIATF 401 synchronizes and integrates Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) efforts across the Joint Force, interagency partners, and allied forces. As part of the Urgent Requirements team, the analyst manages the deliberate process for validating core operational capability needs, partnering with effort owners to translate warfighter gaps into materiel and non-materiel requirements and shepherding them through Joint Force Coordination processes to support rapid fielding of C-sUAS capabilities. The position develops and manages capability and requirements documents, supports joint planning and capability development, and provides analysis and recommendations to senior stakeholders. It also supports operational and utility assessments by developing plans, collecting performance metrics and user feedback, and using field feedback to assess and refine operational requirements.
