Intelligence Analyst and Space Planner - Military veterans preferred

The Challenge:

Adversary actions in the space domain can degrade mission assurance and impact every aspect of multi-domain operations. What if your intelligence background and space domain knowledge could help NATO develop decisive and proactive space deterrence strategies?

• Collaborate with NATO organizations (e.g., SHAPE, ACT, Space COE, CFSpCC) to validate and enhance threat scenarios.
• Analyze multi-domain operational planning requirements, especially in cross-cutting space-C2 contexts.
• Align operational and intelligence findings with NATO’s DDA family of plans and planning directives.

State-of-the-Art Technology:

Engage with cutting-edge tools for threat modeling, ISR integration, and space-C2 architecture development, including space situational awareness (SSA) and joint effects systems.

New Skills:

Develop your expertise in space intelligence fusion, cross-domain deterrence, and strategic threat analysis at the intersection of commercial and military space operations.
