Operate Sandia National Laboratory produced Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) system on the RQ-5 Hunter UAS, monitoring system health, and collaborating with engineers on any field maintenance requirements. Apply knowledge and comprehension of radar modes, collection profiles, and SAR phenomenology to the ground order of battle and terrain to produce radar flight plans optimizedfor efficiency and mission effectiveness. Serve as the SME for interpretation and translation of military customer requests into planed UAV remote sensing missions. Conduct pre-flight checks, ensuring payload and Radar Operations Center (ROC) shelter systems are fully functional. Manage and ensure mission dataflow from sensor to ROC to Contiguous United States (CONUS) archive. Apply working knowledge radar components, ROC and aircraft systems are integrated into a fully capable Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) system. Coordinate with the CONUS engineering team for advanced system checkout and troubleshooting as required. Build flight plans for specified SAR systems by producing waypoints and command data for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), and producing flight plan data for the SAR system. Utilize data transfer protocols to ensure data from Outside the Contiguous United States (OCONUS) is transmitted back to the CONUS support team and provide network troubleshooting of the satellite data transfer system. Analyze and interpret extremely highresolution finer than six inches SAR imagery and Coherent Change Detection (CCD) products in near real time to locate targets of interest. Operate i2 Tech i200 series E/O – IR FMV payload on the RQ-23(A) in support of Coalition Route Clearance Patrols and generalized base defense surveillance procedures. Manage two geographically separated Operational Detachments of 50+ personnel. Interface with Supported Units via presentations and synchronization meetings to effectively implement our capability to meet ground commander’s intentions.
