Hall Business Development Award while Dominic DiDomenico, an advisory systems engineer in Northrop Grumman's non-kinetic system engineering department, received the Clark G. Fiester Research and Development Award. Both accepted the awards during the recent AOC Foundation Celebration of Excellence Awards Ceremony at the 51st Annual AOC International Symposium and Convention.

Collyer is currently engaged in advancing U.S. Navy large aircraft infrared countermeasure programs, serving in a leadership role helping to identify and implement solutions to replace the U.S. Marine Corps Prowler, identifying lower cost, more capable U.S. Army EW solutions and supporting identification of EW payloads for U.S. Air Force unmanned aerial vehicles. His most recent success is supporting the introduction and approval for a new advanced threat warner for the Marine Corps.

The Stanley B. Hall Business Development Award recognizes outstanding performance in leading a government team that gains funding approval for a new EW program or leads an industry team that captures a competitive award of a new EW program.
