Greg Martin is the new Chief Engineer for the Boeing Network and Space Systems business unit, effective yesterday, a Boeing [BA] spokesman confirmed to Defense Daily.
Martin will be replaced by Paul Geery as the vice president and program manager of the Brigade Combat Team Modernization (BCT M) program
Geery, based in Huntington Beach, Calif., also took up his new duties yesterday. He was previously head of the C4ISR team on the BCT M program, and its predecessor Future Combat System program for the past three years.
“Boeing routinely rotates senior leaders to new assignments as well as between program management and function al positions within the company,” Matthew Billingsley, a Boeing spokesman, said. “This allows the company to develop well-rounded leaders who have experience across the enterprise and reflects Boeing’s commitment to retain quality employees by ensuring they have numerous opportunities throughout their career to take on new challenges and projects.”
Roger Krone, president of Boeing Network and Space Systems, appointed Martin to the new position. Martin becomes the first Chief Engineer for the unit, and will report to Krone.
Paul Geery was appointed by Charles Toups, vice president and general manager of Boeing Network and Tactical Systems, a division within Network and Space Systems.
Gerry will lead in the building of a versatile mix of mobile, networked Brigade Combat Teams equipped with unmanned air and ground vehicles, precision fires, and advanced sensors and communications, creating a fully networked force with a common operating picture at every echelon for the Army. Additionally, this position is responsible for market assessment and shaping technology development and integration between other Boeing business areas.
The management changes were an internal Boeing decision, though as a courtesy, the company did inform its Army customer and other senior leaders.
“We are focused on executing our LRIP contract for the first brigade set of BCT M increment 1 capabilities and successfully completing the FY 10 testing cycle which will culminate in a limited user test in the fourth quarter of FY 10,” Billingsley said.
