• Analyzing, reporting, and recommending solutions to Joint Doctrine, Organization, Training, materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities and Policy (DOTmLPF-P) barriers to the effective integration of commercial space capabilities.
• Effectively interacting with US civil and intelligence community stakeholders to present \"whole of government\" approaches to leveraging commercial capabilities, when appropriate.
• Maintaining and analyzing planning, scheduling, and oversight management data.
• Studying, analyzing, and providing recommendations on requirements, space acquisition strategies, program documentation, program phase transition plans, supplemental information, and program execution.
• Maintaining historical commercial space program documentation and developing summary documents/briefings as required.
• Providing short notice, quick-reaction analyses of critical issues in the context of Congressional, OSD Staff, Joint Staff, HQ USSF, Major Air Command (MAJCOM), allied, and commercial activities.
• Supporting the full spectrum of DoD, JS, DAF and HQ USSF acquisition, architectures, requirements, and capability integration review and oversight processes.
• Monitoring on-going studies, analyses, and developmental work relevant to space systems
