SAN DIEGO — Three Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific) engineers, Anthony Haile, Jr., Michael Jackson, and Athanison “AT” Monroe, were honored as 2014 Black Engineer of the Year (BEYA) Modern-Day Technology Leaders on Feb. 6 during BEYA's annual conference in Washington, D.C.
Haile, project manager for the Joint Tactical Network Center Network Management Reference Implementation Laboratory, also led the development and integrated logistics support of the Joint Enterprise Network Manager (JENM) which provides the military with the capability to plan, manage and control joint mobile ad-hoc communication networks in the field.
Jackson, the project manager for the Navy Multi-band Terminal (NMT) project, oversees the next generation multi-band protected satellite communications (SATCOM) system, providing enhanced command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) capability to the Navy’s operational forces.
Monroe, the first lead systems engineer for SSC Pacific's science and technology department, has oversight of the research and applied sciences, and net-centric engineering and integration competency organizations. These support the Navy's mission of development and end-to-end testing in technical areas such as navigation, antenna design, unmanned ground systems, and anti-terrorism and force protection systems.
The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific provides the U.S. Navy and military with essential capabilities in the areas of command and control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR). SSC Pacific provides the full spectrum of C4ISR capabilities from basic research and prototype development, to extensive test and evaluation services, through systems engineering and integration, to installation and life-cycle support of fielded systems. SSC Pacific is a recognized leader in the cyber domain and for autonomous unmanned systems, and is providing the technological and engineering support critical to ensuring the Navy’s information dominance.
