SUMMARY:

The Project Manager Mission Command (PM MC) provides leaders and Soldiers with the Mission Command and Situational Awareness capabilities that have fundamentally changed American warfare, drastically improving our capability to execute full spectrum operations. PM MC provides integrated system-of-system solutions to Army and Joint warfighters, whose products include computer hardware, software, communications and network management infrastructure.  The Mission Command Support Center (MCSC), under PM MC, is an integral part of the Program Executive Office – Command, Control, & Communications-Tactical (PEO-C3T) capability portfolio, providing a centralized capability to deploy, integrate, monitor, test, manage, modernize, evaluate and sustain fielded and enterprise-hosted MC capabilities.  The MCSC mission is one of constant change and adaptation, always responding to enable deployment of new capabilities, while assuring current capabilities are at an optimal state of readiness throughout globally deployed and networked assets.  The MCSC infrastructure consists of three Government-owned operations centers located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, Fort Carson, CO and Fort Hood, TX.  From these operation centers, a global infrastructure of networks and security domains, applications, data and enterprise services are managed across all operational theaters.

DUTIES:

The MCSC is a geographically distributed, complex system of communication networks and networked software and service capabilities.  The MCSC infrastructure is driven by evolution of multiple programs of record and integrated Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) technology, changes in interoperability requirements, increasing cybersecurity requirements, and Army/DoD strategic objectives such as enabling data-centric and distributed cloud-enabled Joint All-Domain Command and Multi-Domain Operations (JADC2/MDO) capabilities. The MCSC Technical Integration Lead is overall responsible for supporting the holistic MCSC technical integration planning and execution, and technical support coordination, to support the operational support contracts, as well as effectively support Government planning and responsiveness to changing MCSC support requirements.  The Technical Integration Lead shall:

* In coordination with the Operations and Project Manager, define and maintain a phased and evolutionary MCSC infrastructure maintenance and modernization plan, subject to governance and approval of PM MC. This plan addresses infrastructure obsolescence, technology adoption, cybersecurity posture requirements, and other attributes necessary to the effective planning and evolution of the MCSC infrastructure.
