General Description: The main activity at Edwards AFB is the testing of aircraft.  This includes the testing of new aircraft (such as the JSF) and of experimental modifications to existing aircraft (such as are made to F15s). My earlier work included software engineering and data analysis.  During the last 18 years I coordinated research and development of new test instrumentation for aircraft.  This involved long term planning (up to 20 years in advance) including input into studies and roadmaps as well as providing ongoing technical oversight for about $15 million in research contracts.
