Awards for Leadership and Technical Achievement were presented to James B. Foulk and Lewis A. Thurman, respectively, at the 2003 Aircraft Survivability Symposium, held at the Naval Postgraduate School The Naval Postgraduate School is a graduate school operated by the United States Navy. Located in Monterey, California, it grants primarily master's degrees plus some doctoral degrees to its students, who are mostly active duty officers from U.S. and foreign military services. , at Monterey, Calif. The awards are presented annually to recognize individuals or teams demonstrating superior performance across the entire spectrum of survivability, including susceptibility susceptibility the state of being susceptible. Refers usually to infectious disease but may be to physical factors such as wetting or to psychological factors such as harassment. reduction, vulnerability reduction, and related modeling and simulation. Foulk, president of SERVICE Engineering Co., Aberdeen, Md., wax recognized for his leadership in the field of aircraft combat survivability. He was instrumental in the establishment and development of the Department of Defense Survivability/Vulnerability Information Analysis Center. Thurman, head of the Tactical Systems Technology Division of MIT's Lincoln Laboratory MIT Lincoln Laboratory, also known as Lincoln Lab, is a federally funded research and development center managed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and primarily funded by the United States Department of Defense. , in Lexington, Mass., pioneered the development of credible analytic processes for assessing the survivability of modern U.S. weapon systems. |
