• Accountable for the Management (Plan, Lead, and Organize) efforts along with the Execution (Cost, Schedule, and Performance) of the two separate efforts during these five years. • Coached, developed, and provided influential leadership on conducting a successful program execution of our MUM-T Phase 1 section-level experiment, which consisted of two control vehicles (MET-Ds) plus four unmanned Robotic Control Vehicles at FT. Carson, CO, along with a Platoon of soldiers from 4th ID and approximately 80 support personnel on the ground. Conducted Section level operations for six weeks, including live gunnery tasks up to Table VI. • Coached, developed, and provided influential leadership on how to conduct a successful program execution of our MUM-T Phase 2 Platoon level experiment with six control vehicles (MET-Ds) plus twelve unmanned Robotic Control Vehicles in three separate classes RCV-L, RCV-M, and RCV-H at Ft. Cavazos, TX (Ft. Hood). This experiment was the US Army's largest Robotic Experiment ever conducted. The experiment required a cavalry TRP team as the BLUFOR element (approximately 114 soldiers). The element consisted of an armored cavalry headquarters section, a mortar section, four cavalry fighting vehicles (CFVs) with dismounts, four M1A2 Abrams, and 57 additional Soldiers trained as MET-D/RCV safety drivers or operators. HMT Phase II SOE participated in many partnering organizations within the Army Futures Command (AFC). Phase II SOE had nearly 150 personnel in support on-site each day at Fort Hood, with countless others supporting remotely from their home stations. The experiment was orchestrated by DEVCOM personnel and others from GVSC, AC, C5ISRC, TRAC, ARL, ATEC, and many other partnering organizations working together to provide an effective, efficient, and safe SOE for all participants.

• Program Manager with two projects, the Robotic Vehicle Control Architecture, which demonstrated the feasibility of reusing the FCS Battle Command architecture to control an Unmanned Ground Vehicle over a 950 K/Bits radio link. The second project was created when FCS returned the ARV to the Tech base, and we were challenged to develop a 9.3 T six-wheel drive hybrid drive skid-steered vehicle capable of 81 kph to demonstrate the viability of high-power DC to DC conversion devices. The results of these efforts were captured in a written Final Report. Both programs were a resounding success and allowed GVSC/TARDEC to create a new division called Intelligent Ground Systems to further robotic research within the Army• Conducted two major field events, one at FT. Bliss and one at Fort Cavazos (Ft. Hood), each lasting approximately three weeks with approximately 40 contractors and ten soldiers
