• Meeting & Briefing Support: Prepare, review, and finalize data, documentation, and presentations for IPTs, Program Management Reviews (PMRs), TIMs, working groups, and conferences.
• Materiel Solutions & High-Confidence Acquisition: Support analytic needs identification, early systems engineering, test/evaluation strategies, technology/manufacturing maturity, life-cycle analyses, cost estimates, and early acquisition intelligence.
• Trade-Space & Lifecycle Planning: Bridge warfighter needs to materiel solutions by conducting trade-space and system-of-systems assessments, identifying risk drivers, and incorporating comprehensive lifecycle planning from pre-concept through disposal.
• Acquisition Policy & Process Expertise: Apply deep knowledge of acquisition processes, policies, streamlining, integrated weapon systems management, best practices, and lessons learned.
• Cross-Functional & IPT Coordination: Execute collaborative processes with IPTs and cross-cutting stakeholders for capability planning, trade-space evaluations, and risk mitigation.
• Engineering Liaison & Team Collaboration: Serve as a liaison between user requirements and organic engineering activities, representing F/B interests in TIMs, working groups, and Collaborative Capability Team activities.
• Tradeoff Studies & S&T Application: Conduct studies and tradeoff analyses for future platform capabilities, applying S&T principles to identify lifecycle opportunities and reduce costs.
