Contractor Support to Counter-Threat / Force Protection / Joint Personnel Recovery Projects / Programmes Working Location:
Norfolk, VA, USA Security Clearance:
NATO Secret Language:
High proficiency level in English language DESCRIPTION:
The Warfare Development Agenda and Plan (WDA/WDP), developed to achieve the level of ambition of the NATO 2030 agenda, emphasize the importance of FP, C-Threat, C-IED and JPR.
Those projects, being Cross-Domains in essence, fall under several Lines of Delivery (LOD) and Warfare Development Imperatives (WDI) outlined in the NATO Warfighting Capstone Concept (NWCC).
Additionally, the lessons identified from the ongoing war in Ukraine lead to a renewed focus on C-Threat functions (e.
g.
NC-IED Steering Group to reconvene in May 2023, and increasing emphasis on C-UAS operations).
In addition, the spectrum covered within the FP/C-Threat programme is ever increasing due to the multi-domain nature of threats and means of potential adversaries (e.
g.
C-67 IED, C-UAS, Counter-Multi-Domain Unmanned Systems, CBRN, etc.
).
This is also potentially true for JPR, in light of potential confrontation with a near-peer competitor.
The integration of initiatives within this programme must also continue to be integrated into the evolution of NATO's strategy and implementation of multi-domain operations (MDO) and overall synchronization of joint effects.
The scope of work lies in the administration, analysis, support to planning, coordination, and documentation of all C-Threat/FP/JPR-related capability products.
This includes, but is not limited to, support as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) to Bi-strategic Command (Bi-SC) programme and project capability development and implementation, support to Education, Training, Exercise, and Evaluation (ETEE) activities, gap analysis, support to related functional working groups and planning teams, and other related duties.
