Job Description

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has a mission to maintain global situational awareness of countering weapons of mass destruction (CWMD) and improvised threat networks. In order to carry out DTRA’s mission, DTRA needs support to operate, maintain, enhance, and field-test new capabilities in its Operational Informational Management System (OIMS). OIMS is used to share information across communities of action; the focal point for the information sharing is DTRA’s Joint Operations Center (JOC). The JOC provides 24/7 monitoring of DTRA’s global operations and communicates the status of those efforts to other agencies, partner organizations, and throughout DoD.

The OIMS platform is a program of record under the DTRA Information Technology (IT) Directorate, Knowledge Management Department (KT). IT-KT ensures that the OIMS platform is available for use by internal and external stakeholders/users to continuously monitor DTRA’s critical mission activities. OIMS consists of a suite of applications, or modules, that provide the JOC with various inputs and outputs of information. Individual applications support functions such as status reporting on DTRA missions worldwide; intake of DTRA customer requests for hazard prediction modeling; WMD analysis, and information sharing about key ongoing CWMD-related events. OIMS is used across three security domains, NIPRNet, SIPRNet, and JWICS. Through an Agile process, individual modules are continually enhanced to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the JOC’s global situational awareness role. These efforts are executed from DTRA’s headquarters, on Fort Belvoir, VA, and from the Alternate Joint Operations Center (AJOC) at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico.

  • Monitors, tracks, reports, summarizes, and analyzes operational CWMD-related data in real-time and displays and archives findings to support leadership taskings and RFI responses.
