facilities to secure and support a newly designed, technologically advanced ballistic missile. The complete replacement also provides an entirely new command & control system as well as vast array of required support equipment specifically engineered to operate and sustain the new weapon system over the decades ahead.

This position will directly support the AFGSC Task Force Detachment Commander / Director and associated personnel, as they support key internal and external shareholders' vision, direction, and implementation during the transition from the Minuteman III to the Sentinel weapon system. Duties will include being the subject matter expert in all things Sentinel Nuclear Certification as you provide professional advice and support to AFGSC leaders on Sentinel certification, deployment, military construction, security, civil engineering, environmental, and command & control aspects throughout all phases of Sentinel fielding.

Weapon system command & control (e.g., launch console and command data processing, etc.).

ICBM codes/cryptography (i.e., securing the nuclear launch codes and assuring confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of commands).

Nuclear command, control & communications (NC3) systems (i.e., national communications systems used for receiving Presidential nuclear orders).

ICBM command pathways (i.e., hardline & RF networks for voice & data command transmission and reception).

ICBM Physical security systems (e.g., motion sensors, visual sensors, delay features, etc.)

Candidates may be called upon to augment organic resources by providing breadth and depth of capabilities for:

Transition and Deployment Schedule Management.

Transition and Deployment Risk Management.

Mission Integration Management.

ICBM Enterprise Management.

The successful candidate will have deep knowledge and insight into current ICBM operations and maintenance activities, processes and procedures. Minimum to moderate travel is anticipated within the lead's duties.
