Biography Born in Clearwater, Florida and raised in Melbourne, Florida.[1] Younger brother of 1st Lt. announced the selection of new Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD ACTD Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration/Demonstrator (US DoD) ACTD A Call to Duty (Star Trek) ACTD Advanced Concept Technical Demonstration ACTD Australian Conference of TAFE Directors ) projects for fiscal 2005. The military services, combatant commanders, defense agencies, and industry submitted almost 100 proposals. Representatives of the military services and major combatant commanders reviewed the list of proposals and provided their requirements for operational capabilities. The ACTDs selected for initiation in fiscal 2005 in alphabetical order are: * Actionable Situational Awareness Pull: "Pull and tailor" relevant actionable information * Chemical Unmanned Ground Reconnaissance: Detection at maneuver speeds, while protecting personnel * Coalition Secure Management and Information System: Rapid role-based secure release of command and control information among coalition partners * Epidemic Outbreak Surveillance: Near real-time, presymptomatic diagnostic detection of pathogens * Joint coordinated Real Time Engagement: Joint real-time operations across multi-Combatant Commands, theaters, and echelons * Joint Enhanced Explosion Resistant Coating Exploitation: Protection against explosive and/or penetrating ordnance * Joint Force Projection: Comprehensive, end-to-end planning of joint deployment * Medical Situational Awareness in Theater: Fusion of medical data and health threat intelligence * Rapid Airborne Reporting & Exploitation: Target detection, identification, and characterization * Sea Talon: Undersea detection in littoral littoral /lit·to·ral/ (lit´ah-r'l) pertaining to the shore of a large body of water. littoral pertaining to the shore. areas * Sea Eagle: Monitoring of maritime areas * SOCOM SOCOM Special Operations Command (US DoD) Long Endurance Demonstrator; Unmanned vehicle for vertical take off and landing with long * Viper Strike: Precise targeting with minimal collateral damage collateral damage Surgery A popular term for any undesired but unavoidable co-morbidity associated with a therapy–eg, chemotherapy-induced CD to the BM and GI tract as a side effect of destroying tumor cells * TACSAT-2 Roadrunner roadrunner or chaparral cock Either of two species of terrestrial cuckoo, especially Geococcyx californianus (family Cuculidae), of Mexican and southwestern U.S. deserts.

The ACTD program aids in rapidly transitioning advanced technology into the hands of warfighters serving the unified commanders. Marrying new operational concepts with maturing technologies in a joint environment, ACTDs reduce the time required to field new systems and increase user involvement in system design and integration.
