Are you interested in helping to develop and field the nation’s next generation capabilities in ISR&T (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance & Targeting) and counter-ISR&T?
Are you excited by tackling difficult, multi-faceted problems, and bringing different systems together to achieve a greater capability? If you have significant experience in ISR&T or related systems and capabilities, this is a great opportunity for you!
The AMDS Multi-Domain Surveillance and Tracking Branch is looking for for motivated indivuals who can help us develop improvements to today’s ISR&T fusion algorithms and pave the way for next generation data fusion developments. We believe this will include focusing on the science of fusing dissimilar sensor data and researching the best algorithms to exploit the provided data, ranging from raw sensor data to track fusion. The envisioned data fusion solutions will incorporate all relevant ISR&T contextual information including but not limited to all sensors, social media trends, public statements and intelligence. We are looking for engineers, mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists who collectively can provide the needed experience and skills in data fusion, machine learning algorithms, and signal processing to achieve these goals.
