Additionally, you will be involved in developing and reviewing artifacts such as Concept of Operations, Program Requirement Document, and Shortfall or Gap analysis to support the procurement of IT systems. Coordinating activities between partners, including the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), will also be part of your role. You will develop white papers, demonstrations, and presentations on technology subjects and support FAA's industry outreach efforts, including facilitating discussion forums with industry stakeholders, including airlines.
