The Army Multi-Domain ISR Operations and Systems department, part of MITRE’s Army Program Division within MITRE National Security, advances the Army’s capabilities in intelligence collection, processing, actionable decision-making, and electromagnetic operations to enhance operational effectiveness and counter adversary systems.

The department supports the Army’s efforts to design, deliver, and sustain advanced technologies for multi-domain intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations across mission areas including Electronic Warfare, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), intelligence targeting systems, ISR sensors, assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT), electromagnetic situational awareness, and non-kinetic effects.

This department works closely with Army acquisition, intelligence, operational, and science and technology communities, combining strong operational focus with deep technical expertise to help deliver superior intelligence capabilities and operational overmatch for Warfighters and decision-makers.

The Army Multi-Domain ISR Operations and Systems department is seeking a Project Leader for its U.S. Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5

ISR) Center Research and Technology Integration (RTI) Directorate project.

This role offers the opportunity to shape high-impact science and technology work programs, influence prototype efforts, and work directly with sponsor decision-makers on Army modernization priorities.

Success in this role requires building and maintaining a trusted relationship with the sponsor at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. Frequent in-person engagement with the sponsor is essential.

MITRE provides the C5

ISR Center with unique expertise to explore concepts and prototype capabilities aligned to Army modernization priorities. MITRE supports critical C5

ISR programs that enhance warfighter lethality and survivability, including converged electronic warfare/cyber tactical architectures, electronic warfare hardware and software, advanced radar systems engineering and signal processing algorithm design, operational combat simulations, multifunction adaptive radio frequency technologies, Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) and counter-EO/IR solutions, and the integration of sensors and countermeasures into combat ground vehicles for improved survivability.

As a differentiated partner to the government in technical areas of national importance, MITRE brings expert FFRDC resources, including labs, modeling and simulation, analysis capabilities, and cross-disciplinary expertise, in support of the DoD and Intelligence Community.
