Specialist Officer to JDLOC

We are now looking for you who are a specialist officer and thrive in the center of events, stimulated by varied tasks and the opportunity to take responsibility. You who are passionate about providing the best possible support to users and operators in the Armed Forces with a high degree of freedom under responsibility.

About the Organization

The Joint Data Link Operations Cell, JDLOC, is part of the FMTIS unit and contributes to ensuring the Armed Forces' ability to communicate and lead - around the clock, all year round. We solve this at JDLOC between the Armed Forces' platforms using data links (over radio and IP). Constantly developing and improving the Armed Forces' use of tactical data links is our guiding star. You will be able to contribute both nationally and internationally to a better utilization of these across all domains. Planning and designing for a Multi TDL utilization is a challenging and exciting job for JDLOC.

Main Responsibilities

As a specialist officer focusing on planning Tactical Data Links, you will primarily support the Armed Forces with planning for the use of systems such as Link 16, Link 22, and JREAP-C, including their interoperability. Planning occurs ahead of exercises, operations, tests, and other activities. In your role, you are an important part of the chain to ensure that other parts of the department have the right conditions for design and operational management. As a specialist officer at JDLOC, you will also be responsible for follow-up and analysis of completed activities to provide feedback to the units.

In addition to the role of planner, you will also contribute to the development of the function as a whole. Tactical data links exist in all domains and on several platforms both within and outside the Armed Forces. Since the activities at JDLOC largely involve support to units both nationally and internationally, there may be some travel both within Sweden and abroad.
