Non-Kinetic Effects Modeling and Simulation Planner

Booz Allen Hamilton•Colorado Springs, CO

About The Position

As a Non-Kinetic Effects (NKE) Modeling and Simulation Planner, you will bring your operational, technical, analytical, and exercise planning expertise to support United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) training, experimentation, and Tier 1 Joint exercises. You will plan, coordinate, integrate, and synchronize modeling and simulation capabilities that enable realistic representations of non-kinetic effects, including Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO), Electronic Warfare (EW), and cyberspace operations, within complex military space operations and Joint training environments. You will work alongside exercise planners, operational subject matter experts, mission partners, software developers, intelligence professionals, and government stakeholders to identify exercise objectives, determine NKE modeling and simulation requirements, and integrate capabilities that realistically represent offensive and defensive non-kinetic operations. You will serve as a trusted advisor throughout the Joint Exercise Life Cycle (JELC) by translating training objectives, operational scenarios, and threat representations into executable modeling and simulation plans supporting exercise design, planning conferences, execution, and after-action analysis. You will lead the planning and integration of NKE modeling and simulation capabilities to represent electromagnetic and cyberspace effects against space, ground, communications, command and control, and supporting architectures. Your work will improve exercise realism, enable tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) refinement, support operational concept development, and strengthen the Joint Force's ability to plan, execute, and assess non-kinetic operations in contested environments. Further your career with us as you help solve complex modeling and simulation integration challenges supporting the nation's most critical space and non-kinetic missions.
