Dr. Jeffrey Goldman has received
the James E. Morgan Award from the National Reconnaissance Office's (NRO)
Operations Solution Group (OSG) in recognition of superior engineering,
innovation, and achievement. An expert in predictive spatial intelligence
at QinetiQ North America, Goldman was honored at an April 11th ceremony by
OSG Director Captain Bernard Lessard.
Goldman's work integrates knowledge discovery techniques,
difficult-to-capture human expertise, and geospatial information into a
system that greatly enhances the effectiveness of reconnaissance efforts by
narrowing searches to a range of locations of interest. These locations
have a high probability of containing the items being sought. His
technology is applicable not only to reconnaissance, but to search and
rescue, disaster relief planning, infrastructure requirement projections,
and even such commercial tasks as locating oil or mineral deposits and
crime-risk assessment.
The Morgan Award honors James Morgan, a national reconnaissance pioneer
who over three decades developed tasking and data dissemination
architectures that became the NRO's model. Goldman is the first person to
receive the award in the last five years. "I have a great engineering
support team behind me to help make these concepts operational," Goldman
says. "It's an honor to be included with such a high caliber of OSG
pioneers. Jim Morgan was a legend who embodied the spirit of the former
Operations Support Office with technical support to the military."
