• Integrate FFT data feeds with GCCS-J, MSS, MCS COP, Common Operational Picture (COP) systems, and associated message translation services to support real-time situational awareness.

• Coordinate with Joint, Service, coalition, and partner nation stakeholders to resolve data discrepancies, maintain interoperability, and ensure compliance with established tactical data standards.

• Monitor FFT system performance, verify track accuracy, and recommend corrective actions to maintain reliable command and control capabilities.

• Support operational planning, exercises, and contingency operations by ensuring FFT systems, hardware, and supporting databases are fully operational and mission ready.

• Advise senior leaders and operational planners on Friendly Force Tracking capabilities, URN management, system integration, and best practices to improve operational effectiveness.

• Experience managing URN databases, configuration management, repository synchronization, and data integrity across SIPRNet and CENTRIXS environments.

• Experience integrating FFT data into GCCS-J, MSS, MCS COP, Common Operational Picture (COP), and related C2 systems.

Desired:

• Knowledge of tactical data standards and message formats, including MIL-STD 6017 (VMF), JBFSA XML, NFFI, and NATO or commercial Friendly Force Tracking standards.
