The Work

As a Target System Analysis (TSA) Analyst, you will analyze all‑source intelligence and produce advanced, decision‑quality target system assessments in a dynamic theater environment. You’ll integrate intelligence into operational planning and contribute across the Joint Targeting Cycle to enable precise, compliant, and operationally relevant effects.

• Develop advanced Target System Assessments (TSAs) using all‑source methods; synthesize complex data into clear analytic products and briefings for senior stakeholders.
• Integrate intelligence with operational planning activities, supporting Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment (JIPOE/JIOPE) and target development (basic, intermediate, and advanced).
• Contribute across the Joint Targeting Cycle, including weaponeering inputs, collateral damage estimation (CDE), target validation, and effects assessment.
• Apply DIA tradecraft (e.g., Center of Gravity and Critical Factors Analysis) and analytic methodologies; maintain rigorous analytic design and documentation standards.
• Use mission systems and collaboration platforms (e.g., RMT, CHROME, Cedalion, Warpath, MARS, MIDB) to research, fuse, and share intelligence.
• Coordinate with COCOM J2 targeting cells and joint/coalition partners; ensure alignment with Combatant Command (COCOM) structures, directives, and processes.
• Produce high‑quality analytical writing, visualizations, and briefings that translate complex findings into actionable insights for operators and planners.
