The Integrated All-Domain Effects (IADE) Division within the Air Force Center (AFC), manages/supports a body of work that is interconnected across MITRE’s National Security Sector (MNS) and MITRE’s Public Sector (MPS). The work program is focused on enabling power projection against peer competitors in the highly contested environment as well as in defense of the homeland. This requires developing exquisite Air Force capabilities, as well as integration with the Joint Force.

Many of the capabilities being developed and integrated require partnerships between the Air Force, other services, and the Intelligence Community (IC).

IADE’s Air Force sponsors span major PAEs (e.g., AFRCO, AFLCMC/ES, ALFCMC/HN), AFCYBER, and research organizations (AFRL). The division strives to deliver world class technical expertise and capabilities in support of a set of the most challenging national security objectives. IADE leads the development and implementation of advanced capabilities that will be critical to deter or defeat peer competitors and where integration across the joint force is paramount.

The chief engineer is accountable for ensuring MITRE’s technical deliveries are beyond reproach given the importance of the missions.

The Chief Engineer of IADE will be responsible for work with stakeholders across MNS to align and shape activities that have shared equities within other services and the IC.
