Full-Motion Video Analyst

The Full-Motion Video (FMV) Analyst supports U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) national security missions by exploiting full-motion video and multi-sensor imagery. The analyst conducts real-time and post-mission analysis, produces intelligence products, and provides operational support to inform tactical, operational, and strategic decision-making.

Responsibilities

1. Create detailed intelligence products, including full-motion video (FMV), still imagery, and video-based analytical reports.
2. Analyze live and recorded video feeds to identify security threats and support time-sensitive intelligence decisions.
3. Utilize video exploitation tools to analyze electro-optical, infrared, and other sensor feeds, and communicate findings to CBP stakeholders.
4. Access and exploit commercial imagery libraries to obtain required softcopy imagery.
5. Integrate and fuse all-source, multi-sensor intelligence data to support comprehensive analysis.
6. Apply advanced intelligence and FMV methodologies to develop and maintain foreign military unit and equipment databases.
7. Produce and load a variety of standard and non-standard FMV products into appropriate intelligence databases.
8. Provide subject-matter guidance on FMV techniques, tradecraft, and production methodologies.
9. Exploit Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) data and ISR-collected FMV imagery.
10. Conduct hands-on analysis of FMV collected by ISR platforms in support of CBP and DHS national security programs and objectives.
11. Perform analytical tasks related to electro-optical, infrared, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems, including assessment of ISR capabilities and limitations.
12. Serve as an analytic lead for collection and collection management activities, coordinating closely with collection managers.
13. Manage, conduct, and coordinate imagery research and analysis of current and historical imagery from manned platforms, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), and civil/commercial sensors.
14. Produce motion imagery summary reports and tailored, mission-specific intelligence products.
15. Deliver intelligence products and participate in operational planning in support of CBP components, joint operations, and other mission partners.
16. Conduct research to validate intelligence data for authenticity and reliability and develop specialized all-source, imagery-based intelligence products.
17. Prepare visual analytic products and graphics to support briefings and effectively communicate key intelligence findings.
