The C-UAS Plans Analyst role at CACI is a full-time, regular position classified within the Intelligence job category. It requires an active TS/SCI clearance, reflecting the sensitive nature of the work involved. The position pays within a range of $78,700 to $165,200 depending on factors such as experience, education, and geographic location. Travel is required up to 25% locally, supporting operational readiness and testing exercises.

This position plays a crucial role in supporting counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) operations by providing strategic and technical planning expertise. The Plans Analyst is responsible for conducting comprehensive analysis of threats posed by adversary UAS technologies, evaluating service-specific requirements, and developing effective mitigation techniques. This involves war-gaming and simulations to test operational concepts, as well as providing well-informed recommendations to senior military and government leaders.

The role requires leveraging multiple intelligence disciplines including technical intelligence (TECHINT), signals intelligence/cyber (SIGINT/CYBER), human intelligence (HUMINT), and measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT) to develop a holistic understanding of UAS threats and defensive strategies. The analyst will evaluate threat device tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), integrating that knowledge with operational plans and resource management decisions.

Key responsibilities include coordinating with various service components, joint staff, and interagency partners to ensure C-UAS solutions are properly aligned with domain-specific operational needs. The analyst supports testing events and training exercises, ensuring vulnerabilities are identified and addressed with appropriate countermeasures. Reporting and briefing senior leaders with clear, data-driven insights is a critical component of the role, empowering informed decision-making on force structure and readiness.

Ideal candidates will have a strong background in military intelligence with formal training from accredited programs or intelligence community equivalents. Practical experience in analyzing UAS and C-UAS technologies with proven expertise in layered defense strategies is essential. Candidates should demonstrate strong research, analytical, writing, and briefing skills, along with familiarity with specialized analytical tools to produce effective operational products.

This role represents an influential opportunity to contribute directly to national defense capabilities by countering emerging aerial threats with innovative technology integration and strategic foresight. Joining CACI in this capacity offers access to progressive learning resources, a supportive work environment, and participation in vital defense missions that protect the nation and provide career advancement opportunities within the intelligence community.
