The awards were presented this month during a ceremony held in Arlington, Va. Since 1987, DSPO has recognized individuals and organizations that have effected significant improvements in quality, reliability, readiness, cost reduction, and interoperability through standardization. The Defense Standardization Program mission is to identify, influence, develop, manage, and provide access to standardization processes, products, and services for warfighters and the acquisition and logistics communities. In addition, the program promotes interoperability and assists in reducing total ownership cost and in sustaining readiness. Individual award recipients for 2006 include James Colson, general engineer, U.S. Army Materiel Command Army Materiel Command can refer to:
GEIA Global Emissions Inventory Activity GEIA Grupo Executivo da Indústria Automobilística (Brazil, Executive Group for the Auto Industry) 927, melding the data concepts of diverse functional areas into one related entity. Also honored is B. Jon Klauenberg, a senior research physiologist for the Air Force Materiel Command  Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) is a major command of the United States Air Force. . Klauenberg initiated
and successfully gained Defense Standardization Program approval for
establishing a new standardization area, Radiofrequency Exposure to
Personnel Safety.
Team winners include U.S. Army Armaments Research, Development, and Engineering Center 155mm Howitzer howitzer: see artillery. and Ammunition Interoperability Program Team, which led the effort to update the Joint Ballistics ballistics (bəlĭs`tĭks), science of projectiles. Interior ballistics deals with the propulsion and the motion of a projectile within a gun or firing device.
