Intelligence Analyst III

Celestar Corporation has an IMMEDIATE NEED and is actively seeking multiple Intelligence Analysts - Level III in Chantilly, VA, who will perform duties in support of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), Army Security Office (ASO), and Army Research and Technology Protection Center (ARTPC). If interested and qualified, we welcome you to apply for this challenging opportunity.

BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) Army Security Office (ASO) Army Research and Technology Protection Center (ARTPC) Support Services has initiated this effort to provide support in the development of security related documentation to include Science & Technology Protection Plans (S&T PP) and Program Protection Plans (PPPs), critical technology reviews, and threat/mitigation plans that utilize a systematic approach to technology protection, intelligence analysis, and multi- discipline security specialist support to provide risk mitigation across the Army to protect Army personnel, facilities, infrastructure, networks and national security information.

The United States research laboratories, engineering centers, and defense industrial base are developing the advanced technology that will form the heart of the Army's future fighting force. Foreign Governments and companies that both use and sell military systems will go to great lengths to acquire the advanced technologies that dominate future warfare. Identification and protection of those technologies is essential to the Army's mission and ability to fight and win when those systems are fielded. When foreign Governments and companies illegally acquire knowledge of the U.S. advanced technologies, it is also essential that the Army understand the effect of that compromise. The Army must have an integrated Research and Technology Program (RTP), Security, Cyber Incident Damage Assessment (CIDA) program, and Modernization Security Protection (MSP) with the ability to perform these critical missions with a high degree of confidence of success.
