Principal Investigator Project Manager - 27614

Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc.•San Diego, CA

14d

About The Position

The Principal Investigator (PI)/ Project Manager (PM) supports the Office of Naval Reserach (ONR) sponsored Distributed Open Ocean Mission Reheasal (DOOMR) Technical Candidate and Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) programs. A series of focused test events will be conducted and culminated in an end of fiscal year Fleet Synthetic Training Research Development Test and Evaluation (FST RDT&E) event utilizing the Naval Simulation Center Pacific (NSCPAC). The end-state of the On Demand LVC Training Capability line of effort is designed to support DOOMR FNC and set the Science and Technology (S&T) foundation to realize Fleet LVC Use Case: Forward Deployed Sustainment and Mission Rehearsal. It includes the associated project management along with computer and systems engineering support. Impact Your work strngthens the On Demand Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) Training Capability that was initially developed by HII Mission Technologies Corp. (MTC) as a Science and Technology (S&T) line of effort under an ONR Technical Candidate program to address a Fleet LVC requirement. This effort continues the work under ONR contract WholeShip End to End (E2E) Warfare Training and Assessment, with research, development, test, evaluation, and integration of an On Demand LVC Training Capability scenario distribution service, inspired by commercial multi-player online game portal technology, to enable pier-side and deployed ship forces to “pull” LVC training 24/7 vice shore training infrastructure “push” LVC scenario delivery. The scenario library is used to support S&T testing and integration during Focused Test Events (FTE) and Fleet Synthetic Training Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (FST RDT&E) events, and is aligned with Unit Level Basic Phase Training and Unit Level Advanced Training objectives.
