Join the One System Ground Control Station Product Group at AAI. How many times have you dreamed of flying? Do you have a secret desire to work on unmanned systems? Do you like creating, manipulating and distributing video? Do you have contributions to make in the field of net centricity? If so, we have the place for you. We are a diversified group within AAI that works all these areas (everything on the ground) for the Department of Defense. We create the ground control stations for unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), from hand helds to global orbiters, unmanned ground vehicles, and unmanned surface (sea) vehicles. We collect, exploit and redistribute state of the art payload product, i.e.video (MPEG, HD and KLV), SAR and GMTI. The UAVs are now being loaded with weapons and all aspects of Air Worthiness, range safety and information assurance must be evaluated and adhered to. We also work on all the requirements management and a wide range of additional support areas for the entire UAV systems. We have openings in all areas. Are you ready for a change for the better? Do you have the ability to learn new technologies and the skills to contribute? Will you accept the challenge to bring improvement through dedication into the field of UAVs? If so, we are looking for you.
