About The Position

This opportunity resides with All-Domain Operations (ADO), a business group within HII’s Mission Technologies division. All-Domain Operations comprises multi-domain operations, platforms and logistics, and intelligence operations. HII designs, develops, integrates and manages the sensors, systems and other assets necessary to support integrated ISR operations and accelerated decision-making. With data fusion and mission management capabilities for the Department of Defense, the combatant commands and the intelligence community, HII advances the mission around the globe. HII-Mission Technologies is seeking an Exercise Experimentation Planner who supports the development, design, execution, and evaluation of client exercises, wargames, and experimentation events. This role provides subject matter expertise in exercise analysis, operational planning, scenario development, and integration of ISR platforms, Joint and Service-level simulation systems, and bilateral training activities. The planner offers recommendations on exercise structure, force use, equipment employment, and training effectiveness to ensure realistic and operationally relevant events. The Exercise Experimentation Planner participates in planning conferences, working groups, and site surveys to gather requirements, provide technical input, align objectives, and refine exercise design. The role includes analyzing exercise scenarios, intelligence summaries, operational products, and supporting materials—developing injects and products that challenge participants’ decision making and operational agility. Following execution, the planner prepares comprehensive After Action Reports (AARs), identifies improvement items, and contributes to the development of exercise improvement plans that address current and emerging threats. This position also supports the planning and delivery of wargames, experimentation events, briefings, participant training, exercise playbooks, and post exercise reporting to strengthen learning outcomes and operational readiness.
