The Kinematic Systems Engineer must have an understanding of each threat country's differing capabilities, preferred Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) and strategic objectives for any given scenario and be able to apply these capabilities to the specific scenario. The Kinematic Systems Engineer functions as the threat targeteer and from the adversary's perspective assigns a missile from that country's Order of Battle against specific targets, and then functions as the threat weaponeer, assigning a specific warhead to each missile used in the attack to achieve the scenario's training or engineering objective. The Kinematic Systems Engineer processes results in an end-to-end threat attack laydown file that is modeled by the TMC, providing the kinematic output data of simulated missile trajectories. This is provided to US missile defense activities and select foreign countries for use in their simulations to analyze missile defense system performance and effectiveness. A function of the Kinematic Systems Engineer is to help review customer scenario requests and provide feedback on potential problems or issues before the production process begins. The Kinematic Systems Engineer must review the final document and data to ensure the customer's objectives were met and the high-resolution data accurately reflects the specifications provided to the Threat Modeling Center. This position is responsible for generating kinematic trajectories using the TMC's Threat Modeling & Simulation Suite (TMSS) and trouble-shooting products and data.
