Survey design and data analysis for a large military experiment involving 60+ interdependent technologies.
I've had the great privilege of serving as a civilian contractor for a multinational, annual military experiment called Trident Warrior. My first year on the project as a data collection analyst was 2007, only five years after its inception. Since then, I worked for 7 consecutive Trident Warrior experiments, and accumulated a total of 46 days at sea aboard various Navy ships including helicopter and aircraft carriers.
The highlight of my time working on this experiment was getting to stay aboard the USS Georgia, a submarine anchored off an island in the Bahamas that served as a test and research vessel where we could implement and test new systems before they were adopted by the wider Naval community.
