Clearance : Secret
Position Description
The Persistent Ground Surveillance System (PGSS) is the result of a Joint Concept Technology Development (JCTD) effort executed by NAVAIR 4.5x Special Surveillance Programs (SSP) that has been successfully deployed in Afghanistan. PGSS relies on ruggedized, tethered aerostats for long duration flight and low operating costs while also using proven, lightweight, advanced sensors for effective surveillance. The PGSS program addresses urgent Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) and Force Protection needs for coalition forces operating in Afghanistan. This Program continues to meet the Combatant Commander’s (COCOM) requirements for affordable, mobile, cost effective Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems featuring advanced sensor technologies. PGSS has saved lives while increasing tactical effectiveness of coalition forces. The PGSS Operator (Operator) is responsible for the effective utilization of the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) aerostat. The Operator designation is separated into four roles and corresponding responsibilities, as follows: Flight Engineer; Payload Operator; Handler; and Launch and Recovery Director. The Flight Engineer manages the health of the payload and provides overall coordination and direction of the sensor(s), while communicating directly with the military customer. The Payload Operator controls the payload. The Handler assists and takes direction from the Launch and Recovery Director (LRD) during the launch and recovery phase of operations. The LRD flies the aerostat during launch and recovery. He is responsible for the safety of flight of the aerostat and flight crew during this phase of operation. Before and after recovery, the LRD is responsible for system pre and post flight inspections and the resulting documentation. An Operator can play all four of these roles in a given tour. Therefore, the ability to work within a cohesive team environment is critical. The Operator is routinely expected to repeatedly move and lift equipment up to 50 lbs. The operating environment requires good physical health (at minimum, a BMI less than 30).
Salary : Negotiable based on experience and qualifications.
Benefits : We offer an excellent compensation and benefits package that includes health, dental, life insurance, direct deposit and more.
