As part of the Department of the Navy's Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), CNA's Advanced Technology Assessments (ATA) division provides analysis that evaluates the military utility and efficacy of emerging defense technologies and prototypes, operational test and evaluation of DoD programs of record, and tactics development and resourcing decisions for existing naval aircraft. Analyses from ATA help the Navy make data-informed resourcing, training, and modernization decisions for new and existing defense technologies, with a focus on naval aircraft. Our research supports defense innovation programs to ensure operational effectiveness and lethality and to maintain the technological superiority of US military forces. ATA also contributes independent analyses to the testing of new aviation systems and the development of tactics to optimize the effectiveness of existing aircraft. ATA Scientists typically work collaboratively and independently with research staff from other research areas across the FFRDC, as well as with some sponsors and staffs. They have demonstrated research and analysis experience, and they require less direction and supervision than entry-level research staff. CNA fosters an inclusive culture that values diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
