Provide systems engineering leadership across the full lifecycle of FMS mission‑planning capabilities, including architecture tailoring, integration analysis, validation, technical evaluation, and configuration alignment. Support the Government in developing Technical Requirements Documents (TRDs), performing Component Replacement Evaluations (CREs), reviewing Engineering Releases (ERs), and evaluating capabilities where no prior U.S. technical baseline exists.

Ensure FMS MPEs, tailored components, tools, utilities, scripts, and security patches are integrated, validated, and delivered in accordance with the AMP PWS.
