A bachelors or masters degree in computer science, information technology, systems engineering, or a related field
Demonstrated expertise in enterprise architecture principles, methodologies, and frameworks. Proven experience in developing and managing complex architectures, preferably in defense or military contexts
Possesses certifications in enterprise architecture (e.g., TOGAF, Zachman Framework)
Proficiency in Microsoft Visio. The Contractor must be proficient in the use of MS Visio with the ability to create clear, well-structured diagrams, visually appealing and informative diagrams. Key skills that the Contractor must be able to perform are:
Diagram Creation (flowcharts, organizational charts, network diagrams, and other types of visual representations), shape customization, template usage and adaptation, connector tool usage, data source linking, collaboration, crossfunctional diagraming, layering, diagram validation, and exporting and publishing
Demonstrated experience in computer information systems, information technology or systems engineering, preferably in defense or military contexts
Experience with NATO NC3 concepts, protocols, systems, or familiarity with nuclear deterrence and command and control infrastructures structures
Proficiency in relevant CEM technical tools and technologies used in enterprise architecture
Possess experience in corporate, government, or academic environment in preparing executive level reports and briefs to include research and writing
DUTIES/ROLE:
Collaborate with stakeholders, including military staff, technology experts, and policy leaders, to gather and document functional and technical information for the NC3 architecture
Translate political, strategic, and operational needs and goals into architectural views in accordance with NATO Architectural Framework (NAF) specifications and design principles
Develop and refine high-level architecture designs that outline the structure, components, and interactions of the NC3 system
Create conceptual, logical, physical, and technical views of the architecture to ensure a comprehensive understanding of its systems, components and relationships
Create architectural documentation using NAF standards, best practices, and guidelines to ensure consistency and coherence across different components of the NC3 architecture
Collaborate with other architects, engineers, and stakeholders to ensure alignment with broader NATO strategies and goals
Communicate the architectural vision, rationale, and implications to non-technical stakeholders and decision-makers
Manage the impact of architectural changes on existing systems and processes, ensuring that transitions are smooth and disruptions are minimized
Collaborate with applicable stakeholders to ensure that the architecture is validated against defined requirements and that its performance meets operational expectations
Provide training to staff and end-users to ensure proper understanding and utilization of the architecture
Deliver briefings and presentations to senior military leadership, decision-makers, and stakeholders to communicate architectural strategies and progress
Develop Mission Thread Identification which defines the various mission threads and scenarios relevant to NATOs NC3 mission. This includes understanding the operational context and the specific tasks, processes, and interactions involved in each mission thread
Create detailed models of mission threads using appropriate modeling languages (Visio and ArchiMate) and tools. These models should capture the sequence of activities, information flow, decision points, and dependencies within each mission thread
Mission Thead Analysis:
Identify and define the various mission threads and scenarios relevant to NATOs NC3 mission. This includes understanding the political, strategic, operational, and tactical context and the specific tasks, processes, and interactions involved in each mission thread
Collaborate with relevant stakeholders, including policy makers, military commanders and staff, and technical experts, to gather input and requirements for mission thread analysis
Develop detailed models of NC3 mission threads using appropriate modeling languages and tools. These models should capture the sequence of activities, information flow, decision points, and dependencies within each mission thread
Assess the existing NC3 capabilities against requirements. Identify any gaps or shortcomings in the current architecture or processes that need to be addressed
Based on the analysis of mission threads, provide recommendations for improvements, enhancements, or modifications to the NC3 architecture. These recommendations should address capability shortfalls, risk mitigation, and performance optimization
Maintain detailed documentation of mission thread analysis, including models, reports, and findings. Ensure that this documentation is accessible to relevant stakeholders
Collaborate with ongoing validation efforts to ensure that the NC3 architecture meets the operational requirements identified in the mission threads. Participate in testing exercises and validate the architectures performance in realistic scenarios
Establish a process for continuous monitoring and assessment of mission threads to adapt to changing operational needs and emerging threats
Effectively communicate the results of mission thread analysis to decision-makers, technical teams, and other stakeholders. Ensure that findings and recommendations are clearly understood and acted upon
Ensure that the NC3 architecture complies with NATO policies, directives, and security standards.
Capability Employment Model (CEM) planning and development
Collaborate with stakeholders, including military commanders, policy makers, and technical experts, to gather input and requirements for CEM development. Understand the specific capabilities and operational scenarios that need to be modeled
Coordinate with the Program Director and Project Coordinator to shape the scope of the CEM development effort. Provide recommendations regarding which NC3 capabilities and mission scenarios should be included in the model. Provide feedback regarding CEM scope alignment with the overall objectives of NC3 Modernization
Make recommendations regarding the appropriate framework or methodology for developing the CEM. Ensure that the selected framework aligns with NATO standards and guidelines
Identify the data sources needed for CEM development which may include information on NC3 systems, operational procedures, threat assessments, and mission objectives. Establish data collection processes and timelines
Recommend the modeling tools and software that will be used to create the CEM. Ensure that these tools support the chosen framework and are compatible with NATOs modeling standards
Create a detailed plan for CEM development, including timelines, milestones, and responsibilities. Provide proposed tasks and activities required at each stage of the development process
Integrate the collected data into the modeling environment. Ensure data accuracy and consistency. Develop procedures for updating and maintaining data as the CEM evolves
Create realistic mission scenarios that reflect the operational context in which NC3 capabilities will be employed. Define the objectives, tasks, and decision points for each scenario
Conduct thorough verification and validation of the CEM to ensure that it accurately represents NC3 capabilities and their employment. Involve subject matter experts and stakeholders in the validation process
Maintain comprehensive documentation of the CEM, including model descriptions, assumptions, data sources, and results at the appropriate security level. Ensure that the documentation is accessible to stakeholders
Conduct scenario testing using the CEM to evaluate different courses of action and their implications for mission success. Use the model to inform decision-making and strategy development
Establish mechanisms for continuous improvement of the CEM. Update the model as new data becomes available, and refine scenarios based on evolving threats and operational requirements
Effectively communicate the results and insights gained from the CEM to decisionmakers and other stakeholders. Ensure that the CEM informs NC3 capability development efforts
Directly supports the Branch Head CR and will be required to travel to meetings and conferences both within and outside NATO s boundaries for up to 30 days per year
Performs additional tasks as required by the COTR related to the LABOR category
