ERADCOM SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS GIVEN AWARDS

    Several scientists and engineers from Fort Monmouth elements of the Army Electronics Research and Development Command (ERADCOM), were cited recently by the Army RD&A magazine in their annual achievement awards ceremony. They were: William J. Kenneally from Project Manager Standoff Target Acquisition System (SOTAS) and Anthony J. Buffa. John L. Carter, John E. Creedon, George Krivnak, Stephen Levy, Joseph W. McGowan, Sol Schneider, and William Wright, all from the Electronic Technology and Devices Laboratory.
    Carter, a physicist, received a BS degree in mathematics and physics from W. Virginia College Institute in 1947. He received the Meritorious Civilian Service award in 1968 for his work on microwave ferrite devices. This award was for major contributions to the development of high peak and average pulse power technology. The advanced technology has been demonstrated in the Brass-board Modulator being used by the US Army Missile Research and Development Command's contractor to perform critical experiments on the Cold Flow Electric Laser Device. The impact of this device makes possible the fielding of mobile, directed energy system for tactical applications.
