Job Description Responsibilities:
Conduct and participate in short notice as well as long-term analytical studies and assessments using a variety of tools and techniques to include qualitative, spreadsheet, and computer simulation-based analyses.
Specific duties include:
- · Leading and assisting in the development of analysis plans for trade-off studies of Air Force combat aircraft and weapon requirements, modernization, and new acquisitions. Typical studies include, weapon capability analyses, aircraft survivability analyses, current and future combat aircraft inventory requirement analyses, and weapon acquisition analyses.
-
- · Using available data, subject matter expert knowledge, and best judgement, create and maintain input data for computer simulations including, but not limited to, Combat Forces Assessment Model (CFAM), Brawler Air Combat Simulation, Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM), Weapons Effects Analysis and Probability Software (WEAPS), and Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manual (JMEM) Joint Weaponeering System (JWS).
-
- · Run computer simulations and analyze output data. Verify and validate the results. Adjust simulation inputs as required to align output with actual and/or expected results in a real-world environment.
-
- · Present analysis of simulation output to include insights, conclusions, and recommendations in written documents and verbal briefings for review by Air Force decision makers.
-
- · Attend and participate in meetings both locally and at other locations as a subject matter expert on air combat analysis and Air Combat Command Analysis Division’s analytic capability.
· Complete computer based and in person training as required by the government and company policy.
