Final DRAFT of SSO CSRs• Core Skills Requirements include text

description of skills as well as appropriate billet subspecialty coding basis

• Please review respective curriculum review letters, enclosure 3, for details on billet base and community manager approvals

‒ I need assistance in contacting Community Managers and verifying their agreement to allow billets to be coded for 6206 sub spec code

• See notes for format• Update CM names and approval dates

6

Final DRAFT of SSO CSRs• Need confirmation of the following:

‒ Sponsor and Subject Matter Experts: • Sponsor: VADM Ted N. Branch, Deputy

Chief of Naval Operations for Information Dominance (OPNAV N2/N6)

• Subject Matter Expert: CAPT Patrick Owens, N2N6, Space Cadre Advisor, patrick.owens@navy.mil

7

SSO/6206 CSRs• The Space Systems subspecialty code

(6206) is achieved through an 18-month curriculum, including any required refresher training, intended to provide a command with an officer who can plan and manage the operation, tasking and employment of space surveillance, intelligence collection, communications, navigation and atmospheric/oceanographic/ environmental sensing systems.

• The following is a representative sample of requirements for which this subspecialty applies:

‒ On following 2 slides…

8

SSO/6206 CSRs1. Space System Processes: Officers will have the ability

to develop and evaluate requirements, plans, policies, architectures, operational concepts, staff estimates, doctrine and tactics for employment of space systems and the tasking, collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination of information products derived from space-based systems.

2. Space System Capabilities and Design: Officers will have the ability to recall and relate information on the space environment, orbital mechanics, spacecraft design and operation, space systems technologies, and ground support segment.

3. Space Systems Assessment and Analysis: Officers will have the ability to analyze the operational evaluation of space systems including systems performance and integration.

9

SSO/6206 CSRs4. Space Liaison: Officers will have the ability to develop

and evaluate alternatives in concert with other services, agencies, and industry concerning policy and procedures governing the employment and operation of space-based systems and associated ground support segment as well as policies and procedures governing the information and knowledge management of the data derived from those systems.

5. Decision Superiority: Officers will provide recommendations to senior decision-makers regarding space systems operations, including the benefit of added space-based capabilities and the impact to operations if current space-based systems capabilities are denied to the force.

10

Stakeholder Desired Outcomes• Open for discussion for the purpose of laying

out high level expectations that may lead to detailed discussion points, ESR edits and perhaps curriculum changes

‒ Outcomes will need to be expressed in terms of requirements (e.g. ESRs) and obtain concurrence of MAS and NPS

11

SSO/6206 ESR Discussion• Review Excel document for specific ESR

wording‒ “366&591 ESR Map 1FEB14.xlxs”

• Any required changes at this time?‒ e.g. JP 3-14 edits, desired outcomes, etc.

12

SSO/6206 Changes• Any feedback for specific course or overall

curriculum changes?

‒ Discussion which will loop back to ESRs…
