acquisition and sustainment processes

Assist in the planning of various forms of technology transfer projects, including Cooperative

Research and Development Agreements (CRDAs) license and/or patent agreements, testing

agreements and technical consulting

Assess mission needs and current armament capabilities and deficiencies to determine

relative importance and potential pay-off of current and proposed statements of technology

need

Identify potentially high payoff and technology-deficient areas to emphasize the more

important technology developments for potential contribution to future armament

capabilities.

Conduct Analysis of Alternatives for munitions and munitions systems

acquisition to include but not be limited to system and component performance. engineering

trade-offs, system effectiveness and logistics

Conduct "make or buy" analyses for systems. subsystems and components of principal.

support and test equipment

Develop, evaluate. and execute systems test plans (such as test and evaluation master plan

(TEMP)) and participate in the conduct of system, subsystem and component testing

Conduct analyses of industrial base capabilities and capacities for support of munitions

system development and acquisition

Conduct and evaluate time and engineering cost estimates in support or research.

development test training and acquisition of munitions related systems

Perform engineering tasks concerned with definition of systems requirements and

performance

Develop and utilize analytical and simulation analysis techniques to optimize system performance and/or system effectiveness; establish system sensitivities. define system parameters. evaluate hardware and validate flight test results in terms of overall system relationships and applications.

Prepare and review program peculiar specifications for items, processes and materials

Review. evaluate and monitor acquisition Contractor drawings for completeness, currency,

technical accuracy and conformance to requirements. specifications. regulations and quality

control

Develop, prepare, review, and integrate selected milestone review documentation. periodic

reports. and certifications and recommend and prepare changes

Provide engineering efforts on systems, products. or materials required to resolve technical or

supportability deficiencies revealed in system resting, sustainment, maintenance and

operation

Apply Integrated Life Cycle Management Analysis and diversified professional engineering

concepts, theories, and practices to achieve objectives by adapting and applying methods and

techniques of related scientific disciplines

Provide direct support 10 various IPTs to perform engineering trade studies. requirements

analysis. root cause analysis. design trade studies, evaluate the application of emerging

technologies; and otherwise support, refine. improve, and document applied systems

engineering principles/processes as they are applied in support of the Branch.

Support integrated logistics support efforts. provisioning and source coding. maintenance

data collection, technical order management, configuration management, analysis of Air

Force Technical Order, evaluation of quality deficiency reports. and/or identification of alternate sources of supply for diminishing manufacturing/materiel sources preferred
