| | DeBLASIO Marc | | Chairman | | NATO Study Group |
|
Marc DeBlasio, director of the Northrop Grumman Corporation Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mission Package Integrator program, was named chairman of NATO Industrial Advisory Group (NIAG) 150 for Modularity.
The committee is staffed by 29 industry and government professionals from nine nations.
The purpose of NIAG 150 is to lay out an architecture for the design, installation and operation of modular mission equipment packages for humanitarian and disaster relief (HADR), antipiracy and harbor defense missions. NATO's goal is to develop and build mission packages, similar in concept to what the U.S. Navy is doing for its Littoral Combat Ship, which would be used aboard multinational LPDs (Amphibious Transport Dock), its Joint Support or equivalent ships.
"This is an exciting challenge for me and all the members of my committee," said DeBlasio. "We have an opportunity to maximize and modernize the capabilities of NATO sea forces for some of the most important missions they are tasked to address."
The committee will deliver its final report in June 2011. The report will evaluate modular mission package concepts and interchangeability requirements for the three missions. The evaluation will include identifying design standards, mission package loading and unloading requirements and the comparison of various module, ship interface, life-cycle, labor and other costs with those of mission-dedicated ships.
DeBlasio currently leads the Northrop Grumman team that is tasked with integrating the LCS mission modules with their various components and the ships themselves. The prototypes of three mission packages have been designed and built by U.S. Navy laboratories. Northrop Grumman is preparing to produce the future production mission packages.
DeBlasio was chosen for the NATO post because of the success of his LCS mission package team. The team has met all design and delivery schedule milestones, and successfully installed the mission package computing environments and multivehicle communications systems into the two Littoral Combat Ships, the USS Freedom and the USS Independence. The USS Freedom has been conducting sea trials with the Surface Warfare mission package. | | Date parution : 09/09/2010 | | catégorie : Nominations | | Modifier votre profil | |

| | MELLOR Debbie | | director , management committee | | Contract Heat Treatment Association (CHTA) |
|
Debbie Mellor, MD of Keighley Laboratories, has been elected to the management committee of the Contract Heat Treatment Association (CHTA) and formally appointed a director, following the recent AGM.
She is the only woman amongst eighteen CHTA officers and one of relatively few female chief executives in the engineering industry, although she feels that the increasing application of high technology provides a route for others to follow.
Formed in 1973, the CHTA represents the majority of companies providing sub-contract heat treatment services, together totalling over 70% of UK processing capacity, and its members have more than 2,500 years’ combined metallurgical experience. The membership is diverse, ranging from the world’s largest heat treatment company to the smallest, and it embraces every variety of thermal process, from annealing and hardening, to carburising and nitriding. The CHTA promotes, protects and champions the industry, recently publishing a comprehensive buyers guide and, through its umbrella organisation the Surface Engineering Association (SEA), negotiating entry into a Climate Change Agreement (CCA) to reduce members’ energy tax.
“Keighley Laboratories is a long-standing member of the CHTA and we believe it does a valuable job, in areas like the CCA initiative, government liaison through the SEA and representing the industry as a unified body ,” says Debbie. “Becoming a member of the management committee helps raise the profile of my company, enables me to network and share intelligence with industry counterparts, and lets me play a role in representing and promoting the metallurgical sector.”
Exemplifying the opportunities for career progression, Debbie joined Keighley Labs in 1986, as an office junior in the accounts department, progressing to Company Secretary by 1997, then becoming a board director in 2007. After a spell as Acting MD, she was appointed Managing Director in September 2008, presiding over a company that this year celebrates its 90th anniversary. Offering a wide range of sub-contract heat treatment processes and a broad array of metallurgical testing and laboratory facilities, the West Yorkshire company is unique in offering the two disciplines on one site, saving time and transport costs for clients of both services. | | Date parution : 06/07/2010 | | catégorie : Nominations | | Modifier votre profil | |

Melroy was commissioned through the Air Force ROTC program in 1983. After completing a master’s degree, she attended Undergraduate Pilot Training at Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock, Texas and was graduated in 1985. She flew the KC-10 for six years at Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City, Louisiana, as a copilot, aircraft commander and instructor pilot. Melroy is a veteran of JUST CAUSE and DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM, with over 200 combat and combat support hours. In June 1991, she attended the Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, California. Upon her graduation, she was assigned to the C-17 Combined Test Force, where she served as a test pilot until her selection for the astronaut program. She has logged over 5,000 hours flight time in over 50 different aircraft. Melroy retired from the Air Force in February 2007.
NASA EXPERIENCE: Selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in December 1994, Melroy reported to the Johnson Space Center in March 1995. She completed a year of training and evaluation and was qualified for flight assignment as a shuttle pilot. Initially assigned to astronaut support duties for launch and landing, she also worked Advanced Projects for the Astronaut Office. She also performed CAPCOM duties in mission control. Melroy served on the Columbia Reconstruction Team as the lead for the crew module and served as deputy project manager for the Columbia crew survival investigation team. In her final position, she served as branch chief for the Orion branch of the Astronaut Office.

SPACE FLIGHT EXPERIENCE: STS-92 Discovery (October 11-24, 2000) was launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida and returned to land at Edwards Air Force Base, California. During the 13-day flight, the seven member crew attached the Z1 Truss and Pressurized Mating Adapter 3 to the International Space Station using Discovery’s robotic arm and performed four space walks to configure these elements. This expansion of the ISS opened the door for future assembly missions and prepared the station for its first resident crew. The STS-92 mission was accomplished in 202 orbits, traveling 5.3 million miles in 12 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes and 25 seconds.
STS-112 Atlantis (October 7-18, 2002) launched from and returned to land at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. STS-112 was an International Space Station assembly mission during which the crew conducted joint operations with the Expedition-5 by delivering and installing the S1 Truss (the third piece of the station's 11-piece Integrated Truss Structure). It took three spacewalks to outfit and activate the new component, during which Melroy acted as internal spacewalk choreographer. STS-112 was the first shuttle mission to use a camera on the External Tank, providing a live view of the launch to flight controllers and NASA TV viewers. The mission was accomplished in 170 orbits, traveling 4.5 million miles in 10 days, 19 hours, and 58 minutes.
STS-120 Discovery (October 23-November 7, 2007) launched from and returned to land at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. During the mission, the Node 2 element named “Harmony” was delivered to the International Space Station. This element opened up the capability for future international laboratories to be added to the station. In addition, the P6 Solar Array was re-located from the Z1 Truss to the end of the port side of the Integrated Truss Structure. During the re-deploy of the array, the array panels snagged and were damaged. An unplanned spacewalk was successfully performed to repair the array. The mission was accomplished in 238 orbits, traveling 6.2 million miles in 15 days, 2 hours, and 23 minutes. | | Date parution : 18/08/2009 | | catégorie : Nominations | | Modifier votre profil | |

MEADS International Names Steven Barnoske As Next President
The MEADS International Board of Directors has announced that Steven Barnoske will become president of MEADS International, the international joint venture that is developing the next generation of ground-mobile air and missile defense systems for the U.S., Germany and Italy. Barnoske succeeds Jim Cravens, who retires from Lockheed Martin after five years as president of MEADS International. MEADS is the 21st century replacement for Patriot air and missile defense systems in the United States and Germany, and for the Nike Hercules system in Italy.
Barnoske has directed tactical missiles programs at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control since 2005. He also served as director of the Joint Common Missile program, where he was responsible for all development activities, including the missile, launchers and platform integration. He served earlier as tactical missiles technical director and held diversified technical management positions on several tactical missile development and production, including Hellfire and Javelin. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics and a Master of Science degree in Engineering from the University of Central Florida.
Cravens guided the MEADS program through a successful system prototype demonstration in Italy in 2004, a successful System Requirements Review in 2005 and the successful Preliminary Design Review in 2007. He is also credited with initiating a successful Critical Design Review event series that positions the MEADS program for a comprehensive integration and test phase. He will retain close ties to the program.
"Throughout his career, Jim Cravens has demonstrated a commitment to improving air and missile defense and to successful development of the next-generation MEADS system," said Dr. Walter Stammler, Chairman of the MEADS Board of Directors. "We thank him for his leadership throughout the Design and Development program and wish him well as he retires."
MEADS is a mobile Air and Missile Defense System that will incorporate the hit-to-kill PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) Missile in a system that includes 360-degree surveillance and fire control sensors, netted-distributed battle management/communication centers and high-firepower launchers. The system will combine superior battlefield protection with extensive flexibility, allowing it to protect maneuver forces and critical assets against tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and aircraft.
MEADS will provide capabilities beyond any other
fielded or planned air and missile defense system. It will be easily deployed to a theater of operations and once there, will keep pace with fast-moving maneuver forces. MEADS will provide an open architecture for 21st century air and missile defense system-of-system integration capabilities that allow operational mission-tailoring. MEADS will also provide greater firepower with less manpower than current systems, producing dramatic operation and support cost savings.
A multinational joint venture headquartered in Orlando, FL, MEADS International's participating companies are MBDA in Italy, LFK in Germany and Lockheed Martin in the United States. Today, 1800 employees from these companies are completing final engineering designs for MEADS program, which is closely watched as a model for collaborative transatlantic development.

The White House has named Lynne Osmus FAA acting administrator, effective Jan. 16, just a day after Osmus was named the agency's acting deputy.
Osmus takes over from current acting administrator, Robert Sturgell, who has tendered his resignation as expected in advance of the change in administration.
Osmus is a veteran FAA executive who has links to members of the Obama transportation transition team, and it is very likely that the Bush administration sought approval from the Obama team before naming her. One source noted she will be a good link between the two administrations. She is not expected to be a contender to be the permanent administrator.
Osmus joined FAA in 1979, and has been in the executive ranks since 1990. Her most recent post was assistant administrator for security and hazardous materials. However, she was also the FAA liaison with the Obama transition team.
She previously served as chief of staff for former administrator Jane Garvey, who was one of the lead members of the transportation transition team.

| | STONE Paul | | Chief Test Pilot | | BAE Systems |
|
BAE Systems has appointed a former Royal Navy Sea Harrier pilot as its new Chief Test Pilot – Combat & Training Aircraft for the company’s Military Air Solutions business.
Exeter-born Paul Stone served 21 years in the Royal Navy where he commanded both front line Sea Harrier Squadrons (800 and 801 Naval Air Squadrons). He also served as the UK test pilot for the Joint Strike Fighter X-32 concept demonstrator programme working in the USA. Before joining BAE Systems, he spent two years in the UK MoD defining the requirements for the Joint Strike Fighter, the F35 Lightning ll, parts of which are now being built by BAE Systems in Lancashire.
Since joining the company Paul has been working as an experimental test pilot in supporting Typhoon, Harrier and Hawk programmes. He said: “This job matters to me because it is an opportunity to use the skills that I have developed over the last 20 years to make a difference and to influence the future of military aircraft flight test.”
Paul still gets a ‘rush’ from flying, but says: “It is a very different rush from the one you get as a fresh faced fighter pilot on your first tour of duty. I think most aircrew would agree the absolute exhilaration you get as a youngster, doing things for the first time, is replaced by a more measured experience in test-flying. It means we can still draw on the excitement, but focus more on evaluating things like the weapon system in a professional and more dispassionate manner.”
With more and more emphasis now being given to pilotless planes, Paul says the future offers “a mixed journey for test pilots because everyone knows the future is more aligned to unmanned air systems and more automation in general - but this does not mean that test pilots can't add value.”
He said: “Even though the ability to assess handling qualities is now, argueably, less important, it will be a long transformation. We will continue to operate manned aircraft for some considerable time and these will need to be upgraded and tested. Aircraft weapon systems are evolving incredibly fast and this is still a major part of our work. As we move to unmanned systems the company can draw on over 150 years of combined military experience within our Flight Test Team aircrew who have served in every theatre of operations since the Falklands Conflict. “
Paul, who is married with two children, now lives in Lytham St Annes and has just completed an MBA at the Lancaster Business Management School. | | Date parution : 27/08/2008 | | catégorie : Nominations | | Modifier votre profil | |

Northrop Grumman is leading a team competing for the U.S. Army's ACS program, an airborne platform that will provide the warfighter with actionable intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition capability.
Moore reports to Philip Teel, corporate vice president and president of Northrop Grumman Mission Systems sector and works with Dan Allen, sector vice president and general manager of Intelligence, Reconnaissance and Surveillance (ISR) division for Northrop Grumman Mission Systems.
"ACS is a key pursuit for our company, and Frank's expertise leading large integration projects for the U.S. military is a good match for this complex program. He will bring the right leadership to our team as we develop a solid, risk-managed solution using an incremental development approach," said Teel. "He has a strong record of leadership across a diverse set of major U.S. Department of Defense development and acquisition programs."
The ACS team will leverage Moore's experience as the current vice president and general manager of the Missile Defense Division, where he directs and integrates all sector programs in support of strategic deterrent and missile defense missions.

ACS will detect troop movements and intercept communications and radar transmissions, allowing the Army to direct dominant and effective firepower before enemy forces know they have been detected. | | Date parution : 08/04/2008 | | catégorie : Nominations | | Modifier votre profil | |

"This appointment reflects the critical importance of the current UCAS Carrier Demonstration (UCAS-D) contract and the tremendous growth opportunities associated with the broader N-UCAS acquisition program," said Gene Fraser, vice president and deputy of Northrop Grumman Integrated Systems Western Region and Unmanned Systems. "Scott Winship brings critical UCAS program management skills and technical expertise that will directly contribute to the success of the overall Navy UCAS program."
With a projected initial operational capability in 2025, Navy UCAS is envisioned as the strike fighter recapitalization platform for heavily defended and denied access targets in maritime, littoral and over-land environments. The UCAS-D program is the essential first step toward fielding an operational global persistent surveillance-attack system. The U.S. Navy is currently developing its acquisition strategy for a potential follow-on major defense acquisition program.
Winship has over 20 years of experience in the aerospace industry. He joined Northrop Grumman in 2002 as the RQ-8A Fire Scout program manager, leading the Fire Scout team to first flight before being appointed to the UCAS Program.

"Before joining the program, Tony spent more than 15 years managing several high-profile efforts aimed at modernizing the Minuteman III ICBM weapon system, making this highly complex missile viable through 2030. As the KEI program moves into its final stages of development, Tony's expertise will be vital to helping the customer successfully deliver this much-needed capability as part of our nation's layered missile defense system."
KEI is a flexible missile defense system featuring the U.S. Missile Defense Agency's newest high-acceleration booster. The system is being developed as a land-based asset with options that enable land- and sea-mobility. Fully deployed, KEI will be capable of destroying intermediate and intercontinental ballistic missiles in their boost, ascent and midcourse phases of flight. A Northrop Grumman-led team won the eight-year development and test contract in December 2003.
Since joining Northrop Grumman in 1979, Tony has served in various program management and engineering roles, from program acquisition, hardware and software development, and production, to overseeing deployment of several key military systems.
Most recently, Spehar served as vice president and deputy general manager for the KEI program, as well as KEI director of business development and director of systems engineering and integration. Prior to the KEI program, Tony was the program director for the Minuteman III Propulsion Replacement Program (PRP), a $1.9 billion effort to modernize the propulsion systems on the land-based Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Most notably, Tony led the contract restructure effort in April 2004, following two industrial accidents at subcontractor facilities and as program manager, led the company efforts to requalify new suppliers and transition the PRP work seamlessly to new production facilities.
In addition to the ICBM PRP effort, Tony led several other ICBM modernization efforts as part of Northrop Grumman's highly successful 15-year contract to modernize and sustain the nation's force of Minuteman III missiles through 2030.
Spehar earned a bachelor's degree in physics and a master's in nuclear engineering from the University of Utah. He also completed the Advanced Program Management Course at the Defense Systems Management College in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. | | Date parution : 24/01/2008 | | catégorie : Nominations | | Modifier votre profil | |

| | PARTON Bruce | | Group General Manager Shorthaul Airline | | Air New Zealand |
|
Air New Zealand has appointed Bruce Parton to the role of Group General Manager Shorthaul Airline.
Mr Parton, who is currently the airline's General Manager Domestic Airline, will take up the role effective immediately. He succeeds Norm Thompson who was recently appointed Deputy Chief Executive Officer.
Mr Parton will be responsible for more than NZ$2 billion of Air New Zealand's revenue delivered from the key New Zealand and Australasian regions, as well as the direct distribution network and support structure. He has full operational and financial accountability for the regional turbo prop airlines (Mt Cook, Eagle Air and Air Nelson), domestic jet services, Tasman and Pacific Island services as well as the New Zealand and Australasian airport operations.
Chief Executive Officer Rob Fyfe says Mr Parton has demonstrated a strong ability to drive profitability and implement change to keep a step ahead of the competition during his 12 years with the airline.
"Bruce will add significant strength to the senior management team as Air New Zealand faces a range of hurdles, such as intense competitor activity, soaring fuel prices and a fluctuating dollar. He has a strong commercial, operational, change management and leadership background which when combined with the ability to spot opportunities and quickly seize them will bring an extra dimension to the team," says Mr Fyfe.
Mr Parton's previous roles at Air New Zealand include General Manager Pacific Airline, General Manager Airline Operations and General Manager Materials (ANZES).
Mr Parton says he has entered his new role at one of the most pivotal times in Air New Zealand's recent history.
"My immediate focus will be ensuring that we build on our market leading positions domestically, on the Tasman and in the Pacific. Innovative pricing and marketing strategies coupled with a uniquely Kiwi experience delivered by Air New Zealanders will underpin success. Ultimately, it is our people who set us apart from the competition."
Mr Parton says continuing to change and evolve the business to meet the needs of customers will be a key challenge.
"We have strengthened this ability over the past few years, but must keep exceeding our customers' expectations to ensure we remain their airline of choice. Furthermore, we must continue to grow our shorthaul business and a strong focus will be placed on identifying potential capacity expansion and new route opportunities over the next few months."
Mr Parton says he will spend much of the next few weeks travelling within the business talking to Air New Zealanders about the shorthaul division's challenges and opportunities as well as meeting with union leaders and other key stakeholders. | | Date parution : 22/11/2007 | | catégorie : Nominations | | Modifier votre profil | |

| | FORNARO Bob | | President and Chief Executive Officer | | AirTran Airways |
|
The original AirTran Airways, a Boeing 737 operator with service to/from Orlando, was founded by AirTran Corporation, the holding Company of Mesaba Airlines of Minneapolis, Minnesota, operating as a Northwest Airlink carrier with hubs in Minneapolis and Detroit. In 1994, AirTran Holdings purchased a start up 737 operator named Conquest Sun and renamed the airline AirTran Airways. Conquest Sun, similar to ValuJet, was an airline started by former Eastern Air Lines employees. The original AirTran Airways moved its headquarters to Orlando, Florida, and grew to 11 Boeing 737 aircraft serving 24 cities in the East and Midwest providing low-fare leisure travel to Orlando. In 1995, AirTran Airways was spun off by Mesaba and formed its own independent holding company named Airways Corporation.
In January 1999, a new management team led by Joe Leonard, a veteran of Eastern Air Lines, and Bob Fornaro, of US Airways, took the reins at the airline. Leonard, Chairman and CEO, improved operating efficiencies while Fornaro, President and COO, built a sustainable route network which increased the presence of the Atlanta hub while adding focus cities in Baltimore/Washington, Philadelphia and Chicago. On August 15, 2001, Leonard and Fornaro joined twelve Crew Members in ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange where the company's stock began trading under the ticker symbol AAI. The airline grew quickly under Leonard and Fornaro's leadership and has transformed itself into a strong competitor operating the youngest all Boeing fleet in the nation to more than 56 cities coast-to-coast with more than 700 flights per day and over 8,800 Crew Members serving nearly 20 million passengers per year. | | Date parution : 07/11/2007 | | catégorie : Nominations | | Modifier votre profil | |

| | KESSLER Bernd 49 ans | | CEO | | SR Technics |
|
Kessler, who is 49 years old and a German national, is a proven industry specialist who can already look back on an extensive international management career in the aerospace field. He joins SR Technics from
Munich-based engine manufacturer MTU Aero Engines AG, where he has been President and CEO Commercial Maintenance since 2004.
An aviation specialist with international management credentials Bernd Kessler, who will succeed Hans Lerch as CEO of SR Technics, is a graduate in mechanical engineering who has been involved in the aviation sector throughout his working life. He is currently a member of the management board of engine manufacturer MTU Aero Engines AG, where he has been CEO of the company’s Commercial Maintenance division since 2004. He also played a key role in MTU’s successful IPO of 2005. He will leave MTU at the end of October 2007.
Bernd Kessler, who is 49 years old and a German national, began his professional career when he joined the german company AlliedSignal Aerospace GmbH in 1984. He gained comprehensive experience here in various functions in Europe and overseas. In 1994 he joined AlliedSignal Aerospace Services and was appointed managing director of the company’s Components North America subsidiary. Following AlliedSignal’s merger with Honeywell, Kessler was named managing director of Honeywell Aftermarket Services for Europe, the Middle East and Asia. In 1999 he was appointed Vice President & General Manager at Honeywell Aerospace in Phoenix, Arizona (USA), with responsibility for the Honeywell Aftermarket Services global business unit and its 25 locations worldwide.
“We are delighted to have secured the services of Bernd Kessler. His appointment is truly excellent news for our company,” says Hans Lerch. “With his vast experience of our

| | LERCH Hans 57 ans | | Chairman of the Board of Directors | | SR Technics |
|
SR Technics will see a change at the top of its executive management in January 2008: Hans Lerch is to focus on his mandate as Chairman of the Board of Directors, and will step down as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at the end of this year. He will be succeeded as CEO by Bernd Kessler.
Hans Lerch declared soon after assuming the position as CEO of SR Technics that he intended to serve in this executive function for a maximum of three years. He is now carrying out his intention: from January 1, 2008, Lerch, who is 57 years old and a Swiss national, will focus on serving as Chairman of the Board of the SR Technics Group, and will hand the CEO function to Bernd Kessler. Lerch has been a member of the SR Technics Board of Directors since 2002 and has served as its Chairman since the company was sold to a United Arab Emirates-based consortium a year ago. He assumed the position of CEO of SR Technics at the end of 2005. Prior to this, he had spent almost 35 years with Kuoni, the international travel corporation, the last of them as Group CEO and a member of its board of directors.
As CEO of SR Technics, Hans Lerch was instrumental in the company’s successful sale to the UAE-based consortium after its previous owners 3i and Star Capital had announced
their intention to dispose of their shareholdings at the beginning of 2006. Since then, as Chairman & CEO, he has steadily developed the collaboration with new owners Mubadala Development, Dubai Aerospace Enterprise and Istithmar. To provide a firm foundation for SR Technics further development, Lerch has consolidated the rapid growth that the
company had undergone since it became independent from the Swissair Group in 2002 by adopting a supranational organisational structure and accelerating the standardising of
processes groupwide.
“The collaboration between our new owners and our management is now well in place, and the actions we have taken to further our own internal consolidation are starting to
deliver results,” Hans Lerch explains. “The next phase in SR Technics’ development,
continuing our growth strategy with a prime emphasis on the rapidly-expanding markets in
the Middle East and Asia, will now be conducted under the executive leadership of a proven industry specialist.” | | Date parution : 19/10/2007 | | catégorie : Nominations | | Modifier votre profil | |

Meetings are supervised by the AEA Chairman, who is elected for one year from amongst the CEOs. The Presidents’ Committee supports and advises the AEA Chairman in his decisions and defines joint strategy.
Alfred Ötsch made the following statement: “I am pleased to have the opportunity to perform this exciting task in the next two years, and thereby represent the important interests of network carriers and their customers at the European level.”
The Association of European Airlines (AEA) has been the “voice” of European aviation for over 50 years. The organisation is based in Brussels, and its members include the 31 most important European network carriers. Together these airlines operate a fleet of approximately 2,400 aircraft, carry over 320 million passengers and employ some 380,000 people.
