Responsibilities

Serves as the conduit to the program’s Models and Simulations team and the operational community to include the Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center (AFOTEC), Operational Test and Evaluation Force (OPTEVFOR), and others, by taking a request from the operational test (OT) community and translating that into a simulation, then understand and translate the answer back to that OT community

Pre- and Post-process analysis of operational and developmental test data, to include Time-Space-Position Information (TSPI), telemetry from the platform and weapon system, data link streams, and the integrated flight simulation

Conducts simulation studies to support pre/post flight and Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A) activities for operational and developmental testing

Responsible for pre- and post-process data analytics techniques and their application to test design and analysis in addition to modeling and simulation experimentation
