Role Responsibilities
• Conducts target coordinate mensuration production using direct, registration, multiple
image geo-positioning and resection techniques on a variety of target types using
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)-validated mensuration tools to support
employment of kinetic weapons.
• Conducts analytic production of collateral damage estimates (CDE) and produces
required graphics using Digital Point Position Strike Suite Collateral Damage Estimation
(DCiDE)/ Digital Imagery Exploitation Engine (DIEE).
• Conducts imagery research, analysis and exploitation and produces imagery based
target materials and other products to support targeting.
• Assists weaponeering using approved tools and / or guides to achieve desired damage
criteria.
• Assists with no-strike identifications and nominations. Performs quality control, database
nominations, creates and updates database records, and uploads TM products to
databases.
• Submits collection requests as required to meet target material requirements to support
current operations.
• Conducts Precise Point Mensuration (PPM) production conducting target coordinate
mensuration using direct, registration (controlled tie), resection (uncontrolled tie), and
multiple image geo-positioning techniques on a variety of target types using NGA
validated mensuration tools to support employment of Global Positioning System (GPS)
guided munitions.
• Perform Quality Control of target material products produced by other personnel.
Conduct weaponeering to achieve desired damage criteria utilizing Joint Munitions
Effectiveness Manuel Weaponeering System or other approved tools.
• Experience (All Levels): Demonstrates experience with Target Coordinate Mensuration
(TCM), Modernized Integrated Database (MIDB), and GoogleEarth.
• Proficient with Socket Community Gold Standard (CGS), Joint Weaponeering System
(JWS), DCiDE / DIEE, and Joint Targeting Toolbox.

Basic Requirements:
• NGA, CCMD, or Service Target Materials Production(TMP) certification.
• Must be certified in Basic CDE Methodology or certified in PPM by NGA or an NGA-
accredited Service Component.
• Successful completion of in resident Joint Targeting course, or the Geospatial Imagery /
Targeting Analyst course, or the Air Operation Center Course.
,• Demonstrates comprehensive mission knowledge and skills that affirms completion of all
developmental training and experiences for the labor category.
• Demonstrates ability to communicate understanding from information that may be
incomplete, indirect, highly complex, seemingly unrelated, and / or technically advanced.
• Demonstrates ability to structure analysis based on trends in reporting and a range of
analytic perspectives from other analysts, organizations, and intelligence disciplines.
• Demonstrates ability to work independently with minimal oversight and direction.
• Demonstrates ability to collaborate and work with other IC members on information
sharing, driving collection, and addressing analytic disputes and conflict resolution.
• Demonstrates ability to develop concise, insightful, and comprehensive products for
defense intelligence.
• Demonstrates ability to recognize nuances and resolve contradictions and
inconsistencies in information.
• Demonstrates working knowledge using complex analytic methodologies, such as
structured analytic techniques or alternative approaches, to examine biases,
assumptions, and theories to eliminate uncertainty, strengthen analytic arguments, and
mitigate surprise. Structured analytic techniques include, but not limited to, Analysis of
Competing Hypotheses, Devil’s Advocacy, High-Impact / Low-Impact Analysis, Red
Team Analysis and Alternative Futures Analysis.
• Demonstrates understanding of intelligence collection capabilities and limitations, to
include but not limited to, technical sensors / platforms and human intelligence sources
related to the labor category.
• Demonstrates understanding of evaluating collected intelligence reporting, engaging with
collection managers, and developing collection requirements.
• Demonstrates ability to lead teams in researching multifaceted or critical problems.
Provides guidance in selecting, designing, and applying analytic methodologies. Uses
argument evaluation and validated analytic methodologies to challenge differing
perspectives
