• Serve as the division's subject‑matter expert on Maven Smart System, Foundry, and related enterprise data/AI platforms; design exercise‑specific applications and data flows within these environments.
• Support CPX execution by integrating AI tools into the Exercise Control Group (ECG), including synthetic play, operational reporting, and real‑time analytics.
• Support FTX execution by developing AI‑enabled tools for tactical training units, including sensor integration, data capture, and automated performance analytics.
• Coordinate with J7 planners, component commands, training audiences, and external partners to ensure AI capabilities align with exercise objectives and joint training requirements.
• Lead or support working groups focused on AI integration, data architecture, and digital transformation within the exercise enterprise.
• Maintain and manage data repositories, model libraries, and exercise information systems to ensure continuity, accuracy, and accessibility across the JELC.
• Provide training and onboarding for staff and exercise participants on AI tools, dashboards, and workflows.
• Ensure compliance with OPSEC, data governance, and classification requirements when handling exercise data and AI systems.
