Full-Motion Video (FMV) Analyst

Overview

The Full-Motion Video (FMV) Analyst supports U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) national security missions by exploiting full-motion video and multi-sensor imagery. The analyst conducts real-time and post-mission analysis, produces intelligence products, and provides operational support to inform tactical, operational, and strategic decision-making.

Responsibilities

• Create detailed intelligence products, including full-motion video (FMV), still imagery, and video-based analytical reports.
• Analyze live and recorded video feeds to identify security threats and support time-sensitive intelligence decisions.
• Utilize video exploitation tools to analyze electro-optical, infrared, and other sensor feeds, and communicate findings to CBP stakeholders.
• Access and exploit commercial imagery libraries to obtain required softcopy imagery.
• Integrate and fuse all-source, multi-sensor intelligence data to support comprehensive analysis.
• Apply advanced intelligence and FMV methodologies to develop and maintain foreign military unit and equipment databases.
• Produce and load a variety of standard and non-standard FMV products into appropriate intelligence databases.
• Provide subject-matter guidance on FMV techniques, tradecraft, and production methodologies.
• Exploit Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) data and ISR-collected FMV imagery.
• Conduct hands-on analysis of FMV collected by ISR platforms in support of CBP and DHS national security programs and objectives.
• Perform analytical tasks related to electro-optical, infrared, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems, including assessment of ISR capabilities and limitations.
• Serve as an analytic lead for collection and collection management activities, coordinating closely with collection managers.
• Manage, conduct, and coordinate imagery research and analysis of current and historical imagery from manned platforms, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), and civil/commercial sensors.
• Produce motion imagery summary reports and tailored, mission-specific intelligence products.
• Deliver intelligence products and participate in operational planning in support of CBP components, joint operations, and other mission partners.
• Conduct research to validate intelligence data for authenticity and reliability and develop specialized all-source, imagery-based intelligence products.
• Prepare visual analytic products and graphics to support briefings and effectively communicate key intelligence findings.
