Oversee and direct the breakdown of Universal Joint Task Lists (UJTL) and Universal Naval Task Lists (UNTL) into granular, executable mission threads, kill chains, and target-pairing configurations
Lead and facilitate national-level technical meetings, working groups, and collaborative conversations integrating warfighter, acquisition, budget, and intelligence community Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)
Spearhead the development of Naval Concepts of Employment (CONEMPs), kill chain/kill web wholeness assessments, capability gap assessments, and Design Reference Missions (DRMs) to directly influence NAVAIR acquisition and investment decisions
Partner closely with senior OPNAV and NAVAIR pillar program representatives to synthesize and compile comprehensive mission technical baselines across multiple future time epochs
Direct the capture of mission architectures and system-of-systems relationships using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) frameworks, guiding team members in utilizing digital modeling environments
