MDA is looking for support from an organization that is both knowledgeable of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the federal personnel management hiring process, and is experienced with implementing recruitment programs for attracting qualified applicants. Background: The Missile Defense Agency is a separate agency of the DoD under the direction, authority, and control of the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics). The Agency manages, directs, and executes the ballistic missile defense program with the following mission: define, develop and acquire BMD architectures with the systems, subsystems, and components needed to defend the U.S., deployed forces, allies, and friends; employ an integrated system that layers defenses to intercept missiles in all phases of their flight (i.e., boost, midcourse, and terminal) against all ranges of threats; and enable the Military Services to field elements of the overall Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) as soon as practicable. To achieve this mission, the Agency is developing and testing technologies, using prototype and test assets to provide early capability, and improving the effectiveness of our deployed capabilities by inserting new technologies as they become available or when the threat warrants an accelerated capability.
