03/2009 - 08/2018. Mechanical Engineer

Coordinated and developed Acquisition Packages for the acquisition of project support and hardware. Prepare acquisition documentation to meet project and organizational objectives.

Develop tactical models for use to evaluate the potential technologies that will be utilized with Artillery and Mortar Systems in ONE SEMI-AUTOMATED FORCES (OneSAF) computer-generated forces simulation that provides models and behaviors for weapon systems.

Developed model for the 120mm High Explosive Guided Munition (HEGM) program. Examining use of OneSAF to evaluate new munition and weapon system technologies in force on battle modeling force-on-force simulations. Modified existing attributes to represent these new technologies and assisted in the development of scenarios to employ these new technologies in OneSAF modeling and simulation program.

Performed a statistically significant of repetitions to assure that the models adequately represent the performance and attributes of the new technologies that are being examined for incorporation in the HEGM program. This information will feed into an evaluation to determine the most cost effective combinations to support operational requirements. Examined possible commercially available products.
