C-IED Analyst

Omega Systems is currently reviewing applications for multiple C-IED Analyst positions in the Newport News, VA area in support of the Training Counter-IED Operations Integration Center. Please review the Job Description below.

Job Title: Counter-IED Analyst

Background
The US military employs a Counter Improvised Explosive Device Operations and Integration Center (COIC) to provide state-of-the-art analysis of IED networks and feed information on how to defeat these networks forward to our forces in theater (Iraq and Afghanistan). The COIC workload is such that it can only provide Counter-IED support to forces already in theater. The US Army recognized that units preparing for deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan require training on this capability prior to their arrival in theater. Thus, the Army created the Training Counter-IED Operations Integration Center, the TCOIC, to meet this need. TCOIC Counter-IED Military Intelligence Analysts stationed in Newport News, VA tie in directly to analysts and systems at the COIC. TCOIC analysts examine and analyze IED networks to determine how best to attack the network, and subsequently prepare intelligence products depicting these networks for Army forces training and preparing training for deployment. Specifically, the analysts tie in thru sophisticated intelligence software tools to the COIC to obtain actual theater-specific intelligence data, sanitize it, and prepare training products for units training at home station and the Combat Training Centers. In addition, they answer specific requests for information from training units about the unit’s projected area of operations and the IED threat within. Thus, the analysts provide training materials and answer real-world theater-specific IED questions. In addition, they use sophisticated modeling and simulations systems to attempt to simulate the threat IED networks and gain insights on how to attack them. These analysts play a critical role in helping our forces defeat IEDs and save the lives of our Soldiers. In short, they are “taking part in the fight” and making a direct contribution to our war effort. We are looking for dedicated, Counter-IED analysts who have either significant Counter-IED experience in Iraq and Afghanistan, or who have worked in the COIC itself.
