Navy TENCAP Representative to NWDC Fleet Experimentation

About the role

What Impact You'll Have As the Navy Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) Representative to Navy Warfare Development Center (NWDC) Fleet Experimentation, you will serve as the critical link between advanced National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and Intelligence Community (IC) capabilities and the tactical maritime forces that employ them in support of operational missions. Embedded within NWDC Norfolk, VA under the OPNAV N99 framework, you will provide senior technical leadership that accelerates the transition of emerging intelligence capabilities from concept to operational employment across the Fleet. You will advocate for, plan, coordinate, and assess the integration of Navy TENCAP capabilities during major Fleet Exercises (FLEX), ensuring advanced collection, exploitation, and analytical technologies are effectively evaluated within realistic operational environments. Through comprehensive after-action assessments and recommendations, you will directly influence the modernization of Navy intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting capabilities while shaping the future evolution of the Navy's Distributed SIGINT Operations (DSO) enterprise. What You'll be Owning As the Navy TENCAP Representative to Fleet Experimentation, your role is about accelerating decision advantage and enhancing Fleet lethality. You will be responsible for the planning, coordination, execution, and assessment of Fleet Experimentation initiatives supporting NWDC's mission to advance naval warfighting effectiveness. You will serve as the primary integrator between operational Fleet commands, resource sponsors, acquisition organizations, and technology providers to ensure experimentation efforts address priority warfighting challenges. ACE-M Platform Integration & Data Exploitation: Serve as the lead coordinator, integrator, and operator for the Analytic Collaboration Environment - Multi-INT (ACE-M) capability supporting Fleet Experimentation activities. In this role, you will utilize ACE-M to ingest, aggregate, process, and visualize disparate national and tactical intelligence data streams across Commercial, SIPRNet, and JWICS environments to establish and maintain a unified Common Operating Picture (COP) for exercise commanders and operational staffs. You will leverage ACE-M's advanced data fusion, playback, and event reconstruction capabilities to support experimentation objectives and enhance operational decision-making. Fleet Experimentation Planning, Execution & Assessment: Act as the principal advocate and project lead for integrating Navy TENCAP and Intelligence Community capabilities into Fleet Experimentation events. This includes developing experimentation objectives, measures of effectiveness, measures of performance, and comprehensive data collection strategies aligned with Fleet warfighting priorities. During live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) exercises, you will oversee experimentation execution and produce detailed After-Action Reports (AARs) and executive-level assessments that deliver data-driven insights into capability performance, including sensor-to-shooter timelines and operational outcomes. National-to-Tactical Capability Integration: Lead the integration of National Technical Means (NTM), overhead collection systems, and advanced intelligence capabilities into Fleet exercises to replicate high-end combat scenarios and contested operational environments. Ensure that national capabilities are effectively transitioned to tactical users and evaluated for operational utility during experimentation activities. NIWDC WTI Coordination & Tactics Development: Serve as the primary liaison to the Naval Information Warfighting Development Center (NIWDC), supporting the development and institutionalization of emerging Information Warfare capabilities. Coordinate, develop, and deliver senior-level briefings and operational updates to Information Warfare Warfighter Tactics Instructors (WTIs). Facilitate the incorporation of ACE-M-enabled workflows, national capabilities, and experimentation findings into Fleet tactics, techniques, procedures (TTPs), and doctrine development initiatives. Fleet Liaison & Operational Advocacy: Represent Navy TENCAP and NWDC during Fleet Warfighting Integration Process (WIP) conferences, Maritime Operations Center (MOC) planning events, and operational planning workshops. Advocate for the integration of national capabilities and emerging technologies into Fleet planning efforts from concept development through execution. Collaborate extensively with Fleet commanders, operational planners, warfare development centers, and Joint stakeholders to ensure experimentation efforts address critical warfighting challenges. Strategic Resource Alignment & Program Integration: Navigate the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process to synchronize experimentation priorities with available resources and funding mechanisms. Ensure that critical war
