Led hardware and software development teams for an Army Compact Field Data Collector (CFDC) using embedded C++ for testing of the Acoustic/EO/IR based Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS). Led the software development of analysis software using C#, NET framework and UML models to provide real time test information of the sensors. Led the development, integration, and testing of TENA object models and defined common data and interfaces for range applications at RTC for Laser Tracker, Radar in support of a notional test range system model through a series of distributed test events. Developed TENA Object Models for a Laser Tracker, using UML to specify interfaces between range applications and worked with Architecture team to standardized common data range formats for TSPI, Radars, and GPS models. Lead developer for remote driving system software in C++ and Test Architecture design using UML to specify TSPI interfaces and data streams in support of active protection system testing. Lead hardware and software developer for data acquisition system for Javelin missile using C/C++, VHDL for microprocessor logic, and P-CAD software for circuit board layout and designed to meet SWAP requirements for Command Launch Unit and collect EO/IR data from targeting system and seeker during firings.
