Booz Allen Hamilton is in need of a mission planning specialist. Ideally this person will be a former government employee or former contractor who has supported the SEIC program. The program is procured out of Hanscom AFB, but there is heavy staff at Scott AFB and Eglin AFB. This person will have strong functional domain knowledge. They will be leveraged to advise on the systems and processes currently used and scoped.

They will advise on how to optimize the kill chain and advise on pre and post mission execution challenges. Intimate end customer knowledge is desired, pain points the organization is having. They will work with the technical and capture team as they move into proposal phase to advise on how to win and into the execution of the work.

The Mission Planning program office (HBM) works collaboratively with the Army and Navy to leverage technical solutions and business practices for all DoD platforms. It provides automated Mission Planning tools and product support for fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and guided munitions. HBM is replacing two closed architecture legacy Mission Planning systems and the PC-based Portable Flight Planning Software (PFPS) with a single multi-service open-architecture system more commonly referred to as the Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS).

JMPS allows aircrews to process larger amounts of data required for today's platforms more efficiently to be able to create that mission in an acceptable amount of time. Mission Planning delivers significant benefits to command and control (C2) performance by enhancing information superiority for the Warfighters and by providing unique capabilities in support of precision engagement.

Business Drivers/Customer Impact BAH is looking for someone with a strong background supporting the SEIC program to help advise them as they look at the upcoming recompete. Mission Planning involves the creation of a flight plan based on mission needs, threats, targets, terrain, weather, aircraft performance capability, and configuration. It is an essential task that must be completed prior to any fixed- or rotary-wing aircraft sortie.

The planner must have the ability to plan the delivery of weapons, cargo, passengers, and/or fuel, as well as calculate fuel requirements and assess the route based on known enemy threat location and type. Mission planners must be able to optimize and de-conflict flight routes with other aircraft; review, print, and brief the mission plan; and load pertinent flight information to on-board aircraft avionics.
