received the Clark G. Fiester Research and Development Award. Both
accepted the awards during the recent AOC Foundation Celebration of
Excellence Awards Ceremony at the 51st Annual AOC
International Symposium and Convention.
Collyer is currently engaged in advancing U.S. Navy large
aircraft infrared countermeasure programs, serving in a leadership
role helping to identify and implement solutions to replace the
U.S. Marine Corps Prowler, identifying lower cost, more capable
U.S. Army EW solutions and supporting identification of EW payloads
for U.S. Air Force unmanned aerial vehicles. His most recent
success is supporting the introduction and approval for a new
advanced threat warner for the Marine Corps.
