• Evaluate operational feedback, system performance, and user assessments to inform future capability development and sustainment requirements.
• Support operational evaluations and capability validation efforts for fixed site C-UAS systems to ensure mission effectiveness against evolving aerial threats.

• Proven experience developing operational requirements, capability recommendations, and integration strategies supporting C-UAS operations within fixed site and base defense environments.
• Strong understanding of C-UAS technologies, system capabilities, operational employment, sustainment considerations, and adversarial UAS Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs).
• Experience analyzing operational environments, identifying capability gaps, and translating mission requirements into actionable operational recommendations and planning considerations.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively with senior leaders, operational planners, and technical stakeholders during planning, coordination, and execution activities.
• Experience supporting operational assessments, pre-deployment activities, FTX/LFX/VALEX events, technical exchange exercises, and capability validation efforts.
• Domain expertise in Base Defense and Fixed Site operations, including Air Force and Navy Ashore operational environments.
