Systems Engineer and Technical Advisor (SETA) Support Request for Information

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Joint Fires Network Division (AFLCMC/C3J), is seeking qualified and interested vendors to provide Systems Engineering and Technical Advisor (SETA) support for the Joint Fires Network (JFN) program. The JFN program is a fires-informing decision network that provides top echelon decision makers with a common operating picture and resilient architectures to optimize the allocation of weapons. The program is transitioning from a rapid prototyping environment to a Program of Record (PoR) and requires support in meeting the new requirements while continuing to develop and deliver a quality product to the warfighter. The SETA services needed include providing expert knowledge, experience, and support in areas such as joint fires, multi-domain operations, advanced analytics, and high-security facility protocols. Some key aspects of the job include: • Providing Warfighting Acquisition System (WAS) expertise and technical assistance • Developing and maintaining Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) for high-security facilities • Deploying and managing C4I systems across multiple Impact Levels • Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines within and across classified environments • Designing and creating operational vignettes/scenarios • Assessing "performer technologies" during experiments and quantifying success • Evaluating emerging third-party technologies for architectural alignment and operational feasibility • Providing senior-level subject matter experts with domain expertise and necessary clearances • Managing change within the environment and risks associated with integrating disparate capabilities • Implementing C4I and CJADC2 systems across military shore and Naval ship installations • Balancing the need for extreme security with the need for technical agility during experimentation • Developing customized assessment tools to automatically extract data from live experiments • Supporting large-scale operational demonstrations and LVC experimentation • Extending joint networks across multiple Combatant Commands, geographic regions, and international allies • Leading technical demonstrations and briefings for high-level stakeholders • Facilitating Executive Steering Group (ESG) meetings and Systems Requirements Reviews (SRR) • Managing Technical Review Boards (TRB) and Change Control Boards (CCB) for the Risk Management Framework (RMF)
