The Program Manager providing support services to Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) at Tyndall Airforce Base, Panama City, Florida requires an experienced explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) subject matter expert (SME) to provide technical and operational support for Airbase Technologies IV:
Civil Engineer Robotic and Autonomous Systems Technologies (CERAST) “Thrust Area Three:” EOD. The CERAST EOD SME assesses and develops new technologies and networked unmanned systems that will enhance and advance current EOD capabilities in terms of speed, safety for EOD personnel, and performance of clearance and render-safe operations. Thrust Area Three is comprised of four sub-specialty areas:
1) Post-Attack and Airfield Clearance;
2) Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Mitigation;
3) EOD Tool Development; and
4) Modeling and Simulation (M&S). The EOD SME supports RDT&E programs focused on airfield clearance operations, small, unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), and the development, testing, and evaluation of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) tools and equipment. The position supports concept development, test planning, field experimentation, and technical assessments to enhance operational capability and mission effectiveness.
- Support planning, execution, and documentation of RDT&E activities related to airfield damage assessment and clearance operations.
- Assist in the development, integration, and testing of EOD tools, robotic systems, and specialized equipment.
- Plan and conduct sUAS operations in support of research, testing, and operational demonstrations.
