Senior Project Engineer. First assignment supported the National Mapping and Imagery Agency (now the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, NGA) primarily in a technical advisory role to the Future Imagery Architecture Program Office.

More recently, performed a research and technology development effort to develop a family of algorithms to locate and track moving or fleeting targets using a wide range of intelligence collection and analysis systems. The best performance with these algorithms achieved errors in predicting where the target of interest would be at the next sampling interval within meters of the subsequent observation.

Lead systems engineer for Aerospace, in support of NGA on the development, construction, launch and operation of a commercial imagery system. NGA is primarily interested in imagery products instead of the details of the satellite design, but Aerospace is charged with the task of identifying issues with this program that will affect the completion of the construction and launch. These issues will affect when NGA can use these systems to provide reliable and high quality imagery-based products to NGA clients.

• SPECIAL ASSISTANT, OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT & ENGINEERING - July 1981 to May 1983 - Performed a series of special studies of an extremely sensitive nature in a National Program Office.
• DIVISION CHIEF, OFFICE OF RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT - July 1977 to July 1981 - Managed a research division that performed contract research in the physical sciences including microelectronics, physical and organic chemistry, laser physics and systems, communications systems components and others.

Managed a program in Advanced Memory Technology that resulted in the demonstration of all the enabling technologies that form the basis for CD-ROM systems.
