We provide our clients with professional services, specialised aerospace and defence sales, delivery, and operational subject matter expertise. We are looking for personnel to join our team and support key client projects.\nWho we are supporting\nAllied Command Transformation (ACT) is NATO’s leading agent for change: driving, facilitating, and advocating the continuous improvement of Alliance capabilities to maintain and enhance the military relevance and effectiveness of the Alliance. The main objectives of ACT are: providing appropriate support to NATO missions and operations; leading NATO military transformation; and improving relationships, interaction and practical cooperation with partners, nations and international organisations. ACT therefore leads Alliance concept development, capability development, training and lessons-learned initiatives and provides unfettered military support to policy development within NATO.\nThe program \nCapability Development & Management Support (CDMS)\n DCOS Capability Development (CAPDEV) acts as the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation's Director for guidance, direction and coordination of the activities and resources of the Capability Development Directorate.\nThe Requirements Division will execute all tasks and activities needed to support requirements management for NATO capabilities\nThe Capability Requirements (CR) Branch will develop the Capability Requirements Brief and recommended courses of action to resolve issues through the life cycle management of requirements using matrixed, cross-functional project-specific Requirements Management teams.\nThe Requirements Forward Branch (Mons) is responsible for conducting requirements development and management representation and engagement-related functions in Europe.\nThe Capability Division coordinates the development of capabilities from capability planning through acceptance and then disposal with management entities, NATO Headquarters staff and the NATO Governance Structure\nThe Capability Forward Branch (Mons) coordinates with ACO, NCIA, NSPA, NATO HQ, territorial Host Nations, and NATO Centres of Excellence (COEs) to support the development of capabilities.\nStrategic Plans and Policy (SPP) supports Allied Command Transformation in formalizing military advice to shape future military strategy, political guidance, and other policy documents supporting NATO’s strategic objectives.\nRole ID: ACT-CDMS-27-01-A-LC06\nBackground and Scope of work\nAnalysing Emerging and Disruptive Technologies (EDT) is a critical task for NATO in order to remain competitive, innovative, and operationally relevant in today’s rapidly evolving security landscape. In relation to the NATO Warfare Capstone Concept (NWCC), the Warfare Development Agenda (WDA), and Technology Advantage, the requirement to understand, assess, and adopt EDT continues to evolve rapidly and requires dedicated analytical support. This support must focus on how emerging technologies can be applied within the military environment, including their relevance to current and future conflicts, and how they can be translated into practical examples, adoption pathways, and evidence-based recommendations.\nIn accordance with the Alliance Warfare Development Agenda, the pursuit of Warfare Development Imperatives and Lines of Delivery depends on establishing and maintaining critical enablers, including data, agility, the right people with the right skills, persistent preparation, dayzero integration, and technology advantage. Despite NATO’s long-standing technical and scientific superiority, the Alliance must continue to assess how competitors are closing the gap by improving their technologies and capabilities. NATO’s success requires a deliberate and informed approach to using technology to create advantage. Technology Advantage is therefore a critical enabler of the NWCC and WDA, and its implementation requires personnel able to analyse EDT documentation, assess applicability in the military environment, and develop practical examples showing how such technologies may be adopted to meet the operational challenges of today and tomorrow.\n Role and Duties\nContribute to identification of new and cataloguing of existing EDTs.\nContribute and provide deliverables to support the further development and production of the Technology Advantage critical enabler.\nAnalysis of how TA can support identified WDI Lines of Development.\nUpdate of current TA Vision documents to describe a common understanding of TA.\nPrepare an initial draft Action Plan for the development of TA\nSupport the definition of Initial Operating Capability (IOC).\nSupport the definition of Final Operating Capability (FOC).\nSupport the creation of a TA community of interest.
