COMSEC/Cryptographic Mod Space & Weapons Cryptographic Analysis-5

• Participate in meetings, progress reviews, integrated teams, working groups, etc.
• Draft, edit, and review a variety of correspondence and documentation, primarily using Microsoft Office applications.
• Provide information management, records management, scheduling functions, and meeting/conference support.
• Prepare briefing/training materials and present briefings/trainings.
• Liaise and coordinate with personnel at all levels inside and outside the organization.
• Provide awareness of new/evolving requirements and recommendations for integration.
• Provide support for planning, programming, tracking, and financial execution.
• Prepare information papers, point papers, background papers, and staff studies.

Task-Specific Responsibilities

• Analyze the solutions proposed in Tasks 1 and 2 and their ability to effectively close identified capability gaps for Space and Weapons systems.
• Conduct analysis during Air Force development and implementation of the crypto solution, and provide data to the Government to verify the solution meets the needs identified in Tasks 1 and 2.
• Evaluate the solution, implementation, and transition, and report any deviations from the implementation plan that would impact the warfighter. Solutions may range from ordering and installing off-the-shelf crypto devices, to major modification R&D efforts, to designing and building a new crypto device. Evaluate selected implementations against current and potential future vulnerabilities. The Government will actively participate in the development and implementation of data collection and evaluation methodologies, and all resulting data will be subject to Government review and independent verification to validate solution effectiveness.
• Provide recommendations to CONAUTH and system users during the algorithm transition phase, and periodically assess and report on status to meet the algorithm transition deadline. Evaluate the effectiveness of the transition method and implementation.
• Evaluate the selected algorithm-compliant HAD, manage and report on the replacement or transition of HAD hardware on the cryptonet ordering algorithm-compliant keying material, and support the cutover from the legacy ECU and keying material to the algorithm-compliant HAD and keying material.
• Support HQ CCC Government personnel by collecting analysis of Space platforms (e.g., GPS-III, SBIRS, Tactically Responsive Space, CubeSat), conducting research and analysis on GOE or ground communications systems (e.g., FORGE, TBMS, TDC, BLOS), and munitions for all platforms supported by the DAF.
• Analyze vulnerable crypto devices and algorithms, and research potential solutions to recommend a way ahead for submission to the Government.
• Conduct TRANSEC requirement reviews, provide analysis and recommendations, communicate impacts of mandates, and prepare reports for HQ CCC. Provide guidance and expertise to support generation of Transmission Security Plans.

• Demonstrated proficiency in Space COMSEC principles, encompassing the full lifecycle management of cryptographic equipment from development and fielding through sustainment.
• Minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience in cryptographic key management, including ordering, generation, distribution, and destruction, using systems such as KMI; comprehensive understanding of the strategic roles and operational responsibilities of Controlling Authorities and COMSEC account management.
• In-depth knowledge of and experience with strategic-level NSA, DoD, and DAF security policies and procedures related to cryptographic and keying material, including classification guides for cryptographic algorithms, equipment, and COMSEC keying material.
• Minimum of 2 years of advanced staff experience planning, organizing, and negotiating effectively with cross-functional teams using TMT or other staff coordination standards, document reviews, program updates, and background papers to drive adoption of critical recommendations.
• Minimum of 2 years of advanced staff experience planning, organizing, and negotiating effectively with cross-functional teams to drive adoption of critical recommendations.
