What is an Air Force fusion analyst?
An Air Force fusion analyst works with intelligence information to support analysis and reporting. The current Air Force career pages identify 1N4X1 as Cyber Intelligence Analyst and 1N4X2 as Cryptologic Analyst and Reporter. If your records use Fusion Analyst or an older designation, keep that history accurate and explain your actual duties. GS assesses the experience behind the title.
1N4X1 · Cyber Intelligence Analyst
For a GS application, explain technical network or systems analysis and any target research or reporting you performed. A cyber title does not establish programming, forensics or exploitation experience by itself.
1N4X2 · Cryptologic Analyst and Reporter
Explain the intelligence you analyzed and your role in research, report production or target development. Keep broader all-source work distinct from the SIGINT experience required by a GS position.
How much does a fusion analyst make at GS Consulting?
GS publishes estimated annual base salary ranges of $110,000–$240,000 for DNEA, $95,000–$250,000 for TDNA and $90,000–$210,000 for TAR across multiple levels. These are GS role ranges, not a salary forecast for every Air Force fusion analyst. Compensation depends on the position, relevant experience, education, customer requirements and contract fit; confirm the range for the specific opening with recruiting.
Ranges reflect GS's published role pages. They are not a quote for an individual opening or a guaranteed offer.
Can an Air Force fusion analyst get a civilian job without a degree?
Some GS analyst positions accept relevant experience without a degree. TAR Level 1 lists HS/GED plus six years of relevant experience, and TDNA Level 2 lists HS/GED plus nine. The reviewed DNEA Level 2 opening requires an applicable associate degree or higher with the specified relevant experience. Military training and time in service do not automatically satisfy every contract requirement.
The cards above show the first reviewed level for each path. Use the GS role links for the other levels and full education requirements. For DNEA, degree field and Computer Science equivalency requirements also matter.
What clearance do GS intelligence analyst jobs require?
The GS DNEA, TDNA and TAR roles featured here require active TS/SCI. Candidates must also meet the customer, contract and site access requirements for the specific assignment. GS recruiting and security confirm those requirements through the recruiting process; previous Air Force access does not automatically authorize a new assignment.
Where are GS jobs for Air Force fusion analysts?
These GS intelligence roles support Maryland assignments in the Fort Meade and Annapolis Junction area. Confirm the specific worksite, hours, onsite expectations and start date with GS recruiting before planning a commute or relocation. Do not assume a position offers remote work.
Are these Air Force civilian jobs or GS contractor jobs?
The opportunities on this page are GS Consulting contractor positions. GS is the employer, and the application goes to GS recruiting. Choose the GS role whose duties and requirements match your experience, then use its application link or request a role-fit review.
How do you describe Air Force fusion analyst experience on a resume?
Use your actual Air Force title and expand the AFSC, then describe the work relevant to the GS job you want. Include dates, relevant education and your contribution to analysis or reporting. Follow your security office's guidance and use only approved unclassified information. Do not send classified products, restricted mission details or intelligence writing samples.
