We are inspired by our clients' critical missions and driven to provide the most effective solutions to execute their missions, operational challenges, and requirements. Our dedicated, experienced, and talented employees work closely with our clients to ensure the delivery of exceptional services and products.
POSITION OVERVIEW
The Emerging and Disruptive Technologies (EDT) Senior Analyst, a member of the Innovation Branch under Multi-Domain Force Development, contributes to identifying and cataloguing EDTs and assessing their implications and adoption opportunities in support of the Warfare Development Agenda, while promoting experimentation of EDT-based solutions in realistic environments and coordinating input to EDT activities within ACT's Science and Technology Program of Work. The analyst helps exploit EDTs that address capability shortfalls, contributes advice informing strategic foresight analysis (SFA, FFAO), NATO defense planning (NDPP), and capability development efforts including requirements formulation, concept development and experimentation, and Analysis of Alternatives, and identifies capability shortfalls suited to EDT adoption through analysis of NDPP products and Lessons Learned. The role also includes educating HQ SACT staff on EDT opportunities and risks and maintaining a knowledge base to support information exchange between ACT, NATO, and national EDT stakeholders - requiring experience gathering and interpreting research and technology information, knowledge of national S&T sources, and the ability to assess and translate emerging technologies into practical military applications.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Contribute to identification of new and cataloguing of existing Emerging and Disruptive Technologies (EDTs).
  • Contribute to the sustained assessment of EDT implications and adoption opportunities in support of the Warfare Development Agenda.
  • Promote increased experimentation of EDT-based solutions in realistic environments.
  • Provide and coordinate input to programming of EDTs activities within ACT S&T POW in support of ACT's foresight, NDPP, multinational solutions, capability development, training, and education.
  • Influence and exploit EDTs that address identified capability shortfalls and those significantly impacting available capabilities.
  • Provide and coordinate input to the production and delivery of EDTs advice that informs the strategic foresight analysis efforts (SFA, FFAO), NATO defense planning (e.g., NDPP step 2) and subsequent capability and force development efforts, including capability requirements formulation, concept development and experimentation and Analysis of Alternatives (AoA).
  • Identify capability shortfalls that could benefit from adoption of EDTs by analyzing the NDPP products, the operational Lessons Learned and in coordination with other ACT staff.
  • Educate HQ SACT staff on the opportunities and risks associated with EDTs.
  • Organize and manage a knowledge base through sustained provision of the current status of EDT adoption for Warfare Development and to enable information exchange between ACT, NATO, and national EDT stakeholders.
  • Act as a member of the Innovation Branch under Multi-Domain Force Development, executing tasks and duties as directed by the Section Head Science and Technology or superiors with regard to projects, activities, and outputs related to the Branch core tasks in the broader field of Science and Technology.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree at a nationally recognized/certified University in computer science, information and communication technology or closely related scientific or engineering discipline and 4 years post-related experience. The lack of a university degree may be compensated for by the demonstration of a candidate's particular abilities or experience that is/are of interest to ACT, that is, at least 6 years extensive and progressive in duties related to the function of the post.
  • Two years' experience in the acquisition, assembly, and interpretation of research & technology information.
  • Knowledge of S&T information sources in nations, for example defense research laboratories, academic institutions, media, and defense ministries.
  • Experience in interpreting future S&T and EDT-related information in order to assess how such technologies may be applied within the military environment and adopted to address current and future operational challenges.
  • Practical experience with PC office automation products, including the use of internet for information research.
  • Ability to conduct analytical work on EDT documentation, identify adoption pathways, and develop practical examples of how emerging technologies can be applied to the conflicts of today and tomorrow.
  • NATO Secret Security Clearance or National equivalent.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in English as defined in STANAG 6001 (Standardized Linguistic Profile (SLP) 3333 - Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing) or equivalent.
