Job description

The Company is looking for a Senior Modeling and Simulation Analyst to provide support to CBL Battle
Lab Facility located at Fort Gordon, GA. All work will be performed onsite. This contract will
support the CBL mission to provide experimentation support to the C- CDID with dynamic
network experimentation integrated with CO, DODIN-A, EW, and IA through the Cyber Battle
Lab’s Experimentation Branch (EB), Environments Support Branch (ESB), and the Army
Persistent Experimentation Environment (APEN) Cyber Enterprise Service Center (CESC). The
CBL Experimentation Support contract will provide support in the form of experiments,
assessments, analyses and network support that will validate proposed new technical solutions to
resolve known Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership & Education, Personnel,
Facilities Policy (DOTMLPF-P) capability gaps within the CO, EW, Network, and IA force
modernization lines of effort
