CACI has an exciting opportunity for a Munitions Expert - Mechanical Engineer to support the engineering analysis and weapons effects of foreign indirect-fire munitions. 

  

We need experts to support the technical exploitation of foreign systems and subcomponents for current and future technology. We assess scientific and technical capabilities, forecast and predict future capabilities and battlefield effectiveness, and create of high-fidelity models and simulations of systems. 

  

Join our Team as we drive all-source collection, apply research, and deliver highly technical, all-source finished intelligence on emerging and disruptive technologies helping our customers to assess current threats and forecast future threats on some of the nationals most challenging missions.  

   

You will conduct research to define the characterization and performance of indirect-fire systems, develop model test matrices and assess model performance characteristics throughout their lifecycle. Additionally, you will be a key contributor and collaborator for each model’s verification and validation process, ensuring model performance is in line with advertised capability and author threat assessments. Document findings in modeling tools, databases, and written assessments 

  

You will work daily across several intelligence branches to define testing parameters to meet system analyst’s needs, requiring a working knowledge of threat munition terminal effects and accuracy.  

      

Job Description:  

• Under the guidance of the Artillery Branch, provide analysis of weapons effects using specified computational modeling tools (AJEM, WASP, CTH, etc.).
• Model effects of indirect-fire munitions such as guided and unguided cannon projectiles, mortar projectiles, rockets, and associated payloads with the goal of improving technical analysis to support warfighters and U.S. offensive and defensive materiel development solutions.
• Provide expertise and understanding in threat munition terminal effects, specifically accuracy, heat pressure, fragmentation, and penetration, - on U.S. or foreign materiel or programs. 
• Conduct open source and intelligence research into capabilities and development of indirect-fire munitions weapons effects.
