About the role

  • Research, engineer, and draft changes to Tactical Data Link (TDL) Military Standards (MIL-STDs) based on USAF tactical combat system Information Exchange Requirements (IERs), minimizing impact on existing systems.
  • Develop and evaluate bit-level implementation specifications, advise software developers and testers, and submit interface change proposals formatted in accordance with Joint Multi-Tactical Data Links Configuration Control Board (JMTCCB) Terms of Reference.
  • Recognize requirements for, initiate, draft, and submit interface change proposals on average every two months in support of TDL standards development.
  • Prepare for and attend Air Force Standards Interoperability Board (AFSIB), Joint, Bilateral, and Allied TDL meetings, working groups, and subgroups to support USAF Tactical Data Link objectives.
  • Analyze proposed changes from U.S., Joint, and Allied entities for impacts on USAF systems, joint and allied interoperability, and system implementations, and provide written technical evaluations in accordance with JMTCCB Terms of Reference.
  • Research U.S. and Allied technical documents to identify discrepancies and develop change proposals for TDL configuration items, including applicable U.S. MIL-STDs, NATO STANAGs, ATDLPs, ADatPs, and APPs.
  • Assess interoperability test trouble reports to determine affected systems and deficiency criticality, and participate in USAF Technical Analysis Groups and Joint Analysis Review Panels.
  • Evaluate test results against relevant MIL-STDs, identify standards shortfalls, and develop Interface Change Proposals to address deficiencies identified through test and evaluation analysis.
  • Review newly drafted versions of MIL-STDs to identify incorporation errors and provide corrected bit-level formats, verbiage, or notations to achieve intended technical objectives.
  • Draft Technical Information Design Plan–Test Edition (TIDP-TE) documents for new TDL capabilities to support development of formal U.S. MIL-STDs, NATO STANAGs, ATDLPs, or APPs.
  • Review Information Support Plans posted to the JASM website to verify correct MIL-STD references and coordinate with USAF requirements and program offices to support TDL integration.
  • Participate in Integrated Product Teams and working groups to support development of operational concepts and architectures using existing and emerging TDL capabilities.
  • Research and develop Background Papers, staff studies, Talking Papers, and presentation materials as assigned by the Government.
