The U.S. Army CPE C2IN, Project Manager Tactical Networks (PM TN), Product Lead Allied Information Technology (PdL AIT) supports the U.S. Army’s Security Cooperation mission by developing, delivering and sustaining effective, enduring, and timely customized security cooperation (SC) projects supporting the Warfighter’s Partner Nation (PN) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, and Intelligence (C5I) capacity building requirements and interoperability.

The C2 Interoperability Subject Matter Expert (SME) is a resident technical advisor supporting Bulgaria’s efforts to assess and modernize C2 capabilities across its military Components and Commands.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Engage Bulgarian Components and Commands to document missions, workflows, C2 capabilities, information exchanges, dependencies, and constraints.
• Develop current-state and target-state C2 architectures; identify capability, integration, interoperability, and sustainment gaps; and recommend priorities and mitigation actions.
• Assess existing and proposed C2 systems for alignment with Bulgarian requirements and applicable U.S. and NATO mission-partner environments.
• Research C2 technologies and objectively evaluate interoperability, cybersecurity, integration, training, sustainment, cost, and operational suitability.
• Translate operational needs into technical and interface requirements, acceptance criteria, analyses of alternatives, roadmaps, decision briefs, and implementation recommendations.
• Support Letters of Request, requirements packages, acquisition planning, and related documentation for capabilities pursued through U.S. Security Cooperation channels or Bulgarian national funding.
• Coordinate vendor demonstrations and technical exchanges; develop evaluation criteria, facilitate stakeholder reviews, and document results in a vendor-neutral manner.
• Lead or support architecture reviews, working groups, requirements sessions, and decision meetings with authorized Bulgarian, U.S., NATO, and industry stakeholders.
• Prepare technical documentation, briefings, action trackers, and required reports while complying with applicable security cooperation, disclosure, export-control, host-nation, and contracting requirements.
