The HMS Demo & Test Operations Support role is responsible for coordinating demo flight operations, equipment staging, transportation, logistics, site support, and field execution for flight test campaigns, demonstrations, operational evaluations, and customer events—ensuring personnel, platforms, payloads, communications, ground control systems, and supporting equipment are ready where and when needed. The HMS Demo & Test Operations Support role serves as the demonstration and flight test operator and SME for Group 1/2 UAS assets and their operational use. Responsibilities include engaging operators, customers, and mission stakeholders to understand mission requirements and constraints; developing tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and concepts of operations (CONOPS) aligned with customers’ mission-essential tasks; and supporting operator familiarization, training, and documentation for effective autonomy-system use.
