Weather and other environmental factors can have a critical impact on the success of military operations. By understanding and interpreting environmental impacts, we provide relevant and timely advice direct to military decision-makers. Our world-leading range of tools and systems are also used by allied countries and coalition partners.
The role
Our Defence Outcomes team works to achieve an advantage for UK, ally and coalition armed forces through the intelligence exploitation of environment information. We provide both consultancy and tools to deliver impact advice utilising Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) in a way that?s meaningful to the soldier, pilot or other decision-maker. In short, you?ll deliver a superb end-to-end meteorological service to UK, US and NATO forces, from initial research to the interpretation of data to the end user.
You?ll provide ? and further improve the quality of ? scientific advice to defence customers by applying scientific research to Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) impact products and consultancy services. The work?s fantastically varied and mission-critical: you?ll work on several different projects for a variety of different customers which, depending on your skills, may include developing risk-based advice for defence customers or surface temperature models for various man-made objects. As well as researching and evaluating work to underpin the future development of NWP capability and impact products, you?ll advise on, guide and support users of our products.
In return, we?ll help you to further develop your scientific know-how and apply it in exciting new ways. As well as the opportunity to attend workshops, conferences and scientific trials, we?ll encourage you to publish research work in peer-reviewed journals.
