Scientific and Professional Executive Award: Dr. George Foster
Vice Adm. Thomas Moore, commander of Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), and James Smerchansky, NAVSEA Executive Director, presented a Scientific and Professional Executive Award to NSWCDD engineer Dr. George Foster at a NAVSEA headquarters ceremony, June 18. As the Distinguished Engineer for Combat Control, Foster is the Navy's expert in the technical area of combat systems and leads research in the basic scientific principles and technology trends in the combat control domain. Foster led efforts to integrate electronic warfare into the combat system through the re-architecture of the Electronic Warfare System, leveraging the efforts of multiple Future Naval Capability research programs to develop an open system that allows for easier integration of new decoys and effectors. He advanced this effort further in 2016 when he took leadership of the Surface Navy's effort in force-level engagement coordination.
