Founder and Principal Engineer Greg H. Thomas started his career at the Naval Weapons Support Center Crane, (known today as the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division) as a Test Engineer at the facility’s Microwave Antenna Test Range in 1984. His career progressed from testing antennas and radomes to developing test equipment and methods for STINGER missile fuses, TRIDENT missile stage separation ordnance and electronics’ susceptibility to radiation effects, and ALQ-214 jammer subsystems. He statistically analyzed the effect of aging on STINGER missiles as well as the force imparted to aircraft structure when ejecting the Navy’s decoy flares. He cataloged and prepped USMC HAWK missiles in Saudi Arabia prior to being shipped out of country following Desert Storm. He provided engineering support to the ALE-47 program during late stage pre–Initial Operating Capability development through its early deployment years. He followed that with supporting NAVAIR’s early Directed Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM) efforts, including being the government Test Director for the DIRCM Technology Assessment Project (TAP) which included 4 weeks of flight testing on a CH-53E helicopter and Modeling and Simulation being performed at the Air Force’s Guided Weapons Evaluation Facility at Eglin AFB, Army’s Fort Monmouth, and at NSWC Crane. After briefing the successful findings of the TAP at the Pentagon and other classified venues, he led Crane’s subsequent efforts supporting the Department of Navy Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (DoN LAIRCM) program. After being identified as NSWC Crane’s Business Portfolio Lead for Infrared Countermeasures he accepted the Task Manager role supporting the Navy’s early pursuit of what later became the Navy Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD-N) program, as well as other NSWC Crane efforts supporting NAVAIR’s Advanced Electronic Attack Program Office. Following retirement from civil service and a couple of years “sabbatical” he took an Engineering Manager role for a company supporting Cummins, Bill Austin and Associates, but then returned to defense work as a Booz Allen Hamilton Senior Lead Engineer, and later as a Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) Principal Test Engineer. Working for these firms he gained experience working with Model Based Systems Engineering within Cameo software and some of the Navy’s counter Unmanned Aerial Systems efforts, before returning to once again support the ALE-47 Program as the Lead Engineer for the Common Carriage and Active RFCM Expendable Decoy (AED) Dispenser Assembly development efforts.
