Job description

Job Summary

Provide gap analysis of the capabilities and limitations of Navy and Marine Corps aircrew training systems to enable execution of relevant tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) with a focus on advanced, integrated kill chains (KC) requiring detailed integration of multiple Type/Model/Series (TMS) platforms. Assessment of training systems shall include all components of the training environment, to include Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC).

Employees will:

1. Develop and maintain detailed understanding of current and future weapons systems and combat capabilities, advanced kill chains and TTP, pertinent to DoN aviation platforms
2. Develop and maintain knowledge of capabilities and limitations regarding aircrew training systems, to include live aircraft, platform‑specific simulator devices, and training support systems (to include range infrastructure, communications and data links, constructive entity modeling systems, inject‑to‑live technologies, etc.)
3. Observe USN and USMC Fleet training events occurring in all LVC environments, noting training system gaps which affect the ability of aircrew to complete advanced KC tasks (e.g., Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, Assess). These events may require travel to various Fleet concentration areas, to include (but not limited to) NAS Oceana, VA; NAS Whidbey Island, WA; NAS Fallon, NV; NAS Lemoore, CA; MCAS Miramar, CA; MCAS Beaufort, SC; MCAS Cherry Point, NC; MCAS Iwakuni, Japan; and others as deemed necessary to develop a complete picture of current Fleet training system capabilities and gaps. Travel will generally occur no more than two times per month, for a period of 3‑4 days per trip.
4. Participate in relevant Technical Interchange Meetings (TIM) as sponsored by relevant platform manufacturers (e.g., Boeing, Lockheed‑Martin, etc.) and aircraft and/or weapons system program offices (e.g., LRNFO, PMA‑265, PMA‑259, etc.) to assist in development of training system capability requirements for forthcoming advanced KCs.
5. Attend semi‑annual LVC Consortium meetings, sponsored by PMA‑205 to assist in the further development of Naval Aviation LVC training system capabilities.
6. Develop and present periodic update briefings (target: quarterly) to PMA‑205 Program Manager and cognizant staff members, highlighting observations of recent training events, training system gaps observed, and provide informed recommendations regarding prioritization of gap resolution.
7. Maintain detailed integration and communications with PMA‑205 Aircrew Performance and Proficiency Analysis (APPA) analysts to track trends in Fleet aircrew proficiency development in both the virtual and live environments.

Qualifications/Experience

• Required: Former Hawkeye Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI), Growler Tactics Instructor (GTI), Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor (SFTI; FA‑18 or F‑35), or a USAF Weapons School graduate (i.e., Weapons Officer) with recent operational experience

Other Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's Degree from an ABET‑accredited institution or former USN/USAF Aviator or USN/USAF Flight Officer, pay grade O‑4/5/6.
• Location: must live within daily commuting distance of any Naval/Marine Corps Air Station or Facility (NAS Oceana, VA, NAS Lemoore, CA or NAS Whidbey Island, WA are preferred locations) with ability to access and work with classified information
