• System Architecture and Modeling:
• Develop system models for Command and Control (C2) capabilities using MBSE tools such as SysML, Cameo Systems Modeler, or MagicDraw.
• Design scalable, modular architectures that illustrate data flows, communication protocols, software components, and hardware integration across operational systems.
• Integration of C2 Enabling Technologies:
• Enable interoperability between key C2 systems, including tactical communication links (e.g., Link 16, SATCOM), situational awareness platforms, and mission planning tools.
• Facilitate real-time secure communications and data sharing across air, ground, space, and cyber domains.
• Performance Analysis and Validation:
• Analyze system models to assess performance, reliability, scalability, and security.
• Conduct trade studies and simulations to evaluate system components and pathways for enabling effective multi-domain operations.
• Security and Compliance:
• Ensure alignment of C2 technologies and modeling processes with DoD cybersecurity frameworks, such as RMF (Risk Management Framework) and NIST SP 800-171.
• Integrate encryption protocols, secure data exchanges, and compliance measures into C2-enabling systems.
• Collaboration within IPT Framework:
• Work within an Integrated Product Team (IPT) to coordinate efforts with systems engineers, software developers, and program stakeholders.
• Build cross-domain solutions that meet technical objectives and operational requirements for defense missions.
• Documentation and Technical Communication:
• Develop comprehensive system definition documents, technical specifications, and validation reports.
• Provide clear communication of system designs, models, and analysis results to program leadership and engineering staff.
