## Description

* Develop and maintain MATLAB, Python, and C++ analysis tools to support medium-fidelity modeling, simulation, and performance assessments of the Ground-Based Interceptor (GBI) and Next Generation Interceptor (NGI).
 * Develop, execute, and analyze modeling and simulation (M&S) environments to evaluate interceptor performance across a variety of engagement scenarios and mission conditions.
 * Perform quick-response analysis in support of the In-Flight Interceptor Communication System Data Terminal (IDT), including kinematic battlespace assessments and other time-sensitive technical analyses.
 * Conduct interceptor performance analysis to evaluate system capabilities, identify performance trends and limitations, and support technical assessments and decision-making.
 * Support the development and enhancement of future interceptor analysis capabilities, methodologies, models, simulations, and analytical tools.
 * Analyze and interpret simulation results to assess system performance and provide technically sound conclusions and recommendations.
 * Develop and deliver technical briefings to communicate analysis methodologies, assumptions, results, and conclusions to engineering teams, program leadership, and government stakeholders.
 * Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to address emerging analysis needs and support current and future missile defense capabilities.
