Ronald Driggers is the superintendent in the Optical Sciences Division of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. He was previously a senior engineer at U.S. Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate where he provided electro-optical and infrared research on performance modeling. Dr. Driggers received his Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. from the University of Memphis. Melvin H. Friedman is a senior physicist in the Modeling and Simulation Division of Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate. He is the primary inventor of eight patents and has more than forty years of experience having worked in the fields of nuclear physics, neutron activation analysis, automation, scanning electron microscopy, land-mine detection, development of intelligence gathering sensors, search and the modeling of electro-optical sensors. Dr. Friedman received his Ph.D. degree in physics from Carnegie-Mellon University and M.S. degrees in computer science and electrical engineering from Johns Hopkins University. John W. Devitt is a principal fellow and chief engineer for RVS Tactical Products. He was the director of RVS Engineering with a staff of 275 scientists and engineers. He has the full responsibilities for execution of all engineering objectives including technical, financial, and organizational. His responsibilities on projects that span the full electromagnetic spectrum and major U.S. Department of Defense agencies. These include some of the largest and most significant infrared detector programs including EODAS, 3GEN FLIR, and OPIR. These programs and technologies have broad impact to U.S. objectives and national security. Mr. Devitt received a B.S. in physics from Stony Brook and an M.S. in physics from OSU. He was an instructor for the UCSB Infrared Short Course and the GTRI Infrared Technology Course and a lecturer for the University of Arizona Radiometry and other courses. He has more than 50 publications and more than 20 patents, as well as 3 books, one iPad app, and one iPhone app. He was a primary contributor to the Photonics Project web site (https://photonicsproject.org/). Mr. Devitt was appointed to the National Academy of Sciences in 2014 and was awarded as an MSS Fellow in 2016 and as a Principal Fellow in 2017 at Raytheon.
