"Analysts will be expected to produce extremely detailed analytical products to build Patterns of Life (POL) and target descriptions."

It seems to be connected to US Special Operations Command Central units & the description would indicate #drone #surveillance, probably for #MENA. But it also should remind us just how embedded the #USA military is across #Africa, and it's barely discussed 2/2 @SurveilSouth
Aevex Aerospace claims to be a "global leader in full-spectrum airborne intelligence solutions" and "empowering people to make the world a safer place" - #businessbullshit is particularly sinister in #military contexts. https://www.aevex.com/

They seem to be backed by #BainCapital, a massive and notorious private equity firm, formerly associated with MItt Romney, and one of the major backers of Dunkin' Donuts. From #drone war to #donuts. Don't you just love #capitalism? 
But, look! They work for charity. They help orphans. There is some serious dissociation required to do these kinds of jobs. Some kids are terrorists, some are helpless orphans.
