Job Description
WHAT WE'RE DOING
- Provide continuous recurring guidance (derived requirements) for the development and sustainment of a RepBox "black box behavior and effects level" for a Long-Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) RepBox models.
- Analyze RepBox anchoring runs and compare to HWIL runs (flight test and/or ground test)
- Act as liaison for RepBox development team when obtaining reach-back support from Moorestown LRDR prime contractor to better model algorithms and performance for the model
- Identify and elaborate feature improvements to the RepBox LRDR model
- Provide continuous feedback to the RepBox development team to guide development of applicable models particularly with new algorithm designs, higher fidelity recommendations, interface changes, and anomalous behavior.
- Define Certification criteria for the applicable LRDR radar model RepBox and provide Certification statements as the Radar SME that the subject radar meets the defined criteria for the intended use.
- Provide certification level radar SME analysis support with anchoring data to HWIL and RepBox provided run output. Any off nominal or out of family results will be documented and reported to the RepBox development team.
- Travel will be required to visit LRDR prime contractor for additional training and instruction on LRDR capabilities, features, and data analysis.
