NDIA Combat Survivability Awards
presented.
The National Defense Industrial Association's Combat
Survivability Awards were presented at the Combat Survivability
Division's Aircraft Survivability Symposium held in November at the
Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Calif.
Beginning with the 2007 symposium, the former NDIA Combat
Survivability Award for Leadership has been renamed the Admiral Robert
H. Gormley Leadership Award in honor of the CSD's founder and
former chairman. For its inaugural year, it was presented to John J.
Campbell of General Electric Aviation. Campbell has led a generation of
military and industrial professionals in the establishment, development
and execution of advanced technology government and industry programs.
Campbell directed the conduct of advanced research projects dealing
with signature management of current and future weapons systems. He
co-founded a low observables technology organization, which continues
today as a legacy of his vision.
The NDIA Combat Survivability Award for Technical Achievement was
presented to Dennis Elking, Boeing senior technical fellow, in
recognition of exceptional technical achievement in the field of
aircraft combat survivability.
