Collections SME SeniorAbout the WorkSenior-level SMEs apply advanced tradecraft in complex or novel situations and support intermediate and advanced GEOINT Tradecraft learning events.
A Senior-level Collections SME shall be able to demonstrate their extensive understanding of advanced concepts and skill by applying them in complex or novel situations. They shall be able to apply deep tradecraft-specific skills in scenario-based learning events, and exams. Bringing analysts of different GEOINT tradecrafts together in these learning events/exams will require the SME to understand how other GEOINT tradecrafts and multiple intelligence sources may be applied to address problems for today's policymakers, warfighters, and other federal agencies. A Senior-Level Collections SME is primarily focused on providing support to Intermediate (3000) and Advanced (4000) GEOINT Tradecraft Learning Level courses, but is also capable of supporting Fundamental (2000) GEOINT Tradecraft Learning Level courses within the Foundations and Collections content area.
