Within the A&E Centre, an Operations Analyst is required to possess two important skill sets. The first of these is captured in the first term of the job title, “Operations”, and relates to expertise in the military professional domain. AMSE Centre currently focuses on military analysis, but may be expanded to include other domains in the future.  Each analysis team member will generally have core skills relating to an A&E Centre relevant domain.  At present, these currently include military air, maritime, land and less domain specifically, communications.

The second core skill set relates to the second term in the job title, “Analyst”. This term pertains to the analytical and Operations Research and Management Science (ORMS) skills A&E Centre requires of its analysts. In addition to an operations domain area such as military – air for example; each analyst also develops analysis domain specialties.   In total, analysts become responsible for the provision of all skills pertaining to their collective expertise across Operations and Analysis domains. For example, an analyst may have the following domain expertise combination; military operations in the joint and air domain; and analysis expertise in military simulation-based analysis, cost and financial analysis techniques and quantitative risk assessment methods.  All analysts may be expected to become the project lead for A&E Centre projects best matching their demonstrated core skills areas.

First and foremost an Operations Analyst is responsible for carrying out A&E Centre Analysis team’s role of providing advanced concepts analysis and decision support. Currently A&E Centre is focused on the areas of:

• Simulation-based military operations and advanced concepts analysis focusing on military technology and systems studies in a network enabled, System of Systems (SoS) context, and
• General decision support through employing ORMS techniques such as M&S to provide qualitative and quantitative insights to enable superior business and other types of decision-making.

In addition, the Operations Analyst is expected to undertake a number of generic support roles within A&E Centre including:

• Conducting A&E and task specific briefs to Boeing staff (primarily Boeing Business Development) and other external customers.
• Attending external events such as conferences and trade shows to represent A&E Centre in areas of domain expertise

Domain Related Operational Assessment

All analysts are accountable to the Operations Analysis Leader for the successful provision of domain specific operational assessments to support a range of internal and external customers.   Operational assessment is the core role of all analysts in A&E Centre team independent of the analyst’s domain. This role requires the Operations Analyst to employ their particular skill set to the assigned problem within A&E Centre analysis process framework.  The basic A&E Centre analysis process requires analysts to undertake:

• Problem identification, definition and requirements elicitation;
• Collect and validate the associated data;
• Represent / model the problem and validate the performance of the model;
• Generate and analysing the results;
• Communicate the findings; and
• Where appropriate assisting in solution implementation.

Execution of this core role spans the conduct of basic qualitative type reporting and assessment, to the use of the more advanced A&E Centre tools available to solve difficult quantitative and conceptually challenging problems.  Larger, more complex problems often involve multiple members of the team working together, with each team member contributing their skills where and when required to produce a sound team outcome.  As such, analysts are expected to be the domain experts in their recognized professional areas and thus contribute the domain component to each analysis.
