• Working knowledge of the C-UAS kill chain and system components: radar, RF direction finding, EO/IR sensors, C2/fusion software, electronic attack, and kinetic or directed energy defeat mechanisms.
• Demonstrated experience planning and executing C-UAS test events, live‑fly demonstrations, or fielding activities at military ranges or operational sites.
• Experience training military or government operators, including curriculum delivery and operator qualification.
• Understanding of the current sUAS threat landscape, including commercial and improvised Group 1-3 platforms, FPV attack profiles, and navigation/RF countermeasure resistance.

• Prior military service in air defense, EW, or force protection, or DoD civilian experience in C-UAS requirements, test, or acquisition (JCO, JIATF-401, service C-sUAS offices).
• Direct experience with fielded C-UAS programs of record or fielded prototypes (e.g., FS-LIDS, L-MADIS, mobile/dismounted C-sUAS kits, HPM or HEL defeat systems).
• Experience with C2 integration standards and architectures such as FAAD C2, SAPIENT, or TAK-based sensor fusion.
• Familiarity with spectrum management, EW deconfliction, and authorities governing electronic attack and kinetic defeat in CONUS and OCONUS environments.
• Experience countering emerging threats, including fiber-optic controlled FPV drones and autonomous/GPS-denied navigation profiles.
