Identify and integrate relevant research, innovation, and experimentation from across MITRE, including internal research and development programs, to strengthen sponsor decision-making in areas such as advanced sensors, resilient architectures, autonomy, AI/ML-enabled mission applications, data exploitation, and other mission-enabling technologies associated with XSPO’s innovation portfolio
Support the assessment of emerging technologies and mission concepts by leading studies, trade analyses, technical evaluations, and prototype-informed recommendations that help determine feasibility, mission utility, architectural compatibility, and transition potential
Collaborate with Government officials, FFRDC’s, support contractors and industry to determine future technology development within determined budgets and schedules.
