Chief Scientist Speaks of the Future. Interview with Dr. Thomas Killion

Abstract

Dr. Thomas H. Killion is the Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology/Chief Scientist, responsible for the Army Science and Technology program. Prior to this designation, Dr. Killion served as the Director for Technology in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology under the Deputy ASA for Research and Technology. In this position, he was responsible for oversight and coordination for the majority of the Army's Applied Research program and all of its Advanced Development program. He also chaired the Warfighter Technical Council and managed the Science and Technology Objective and Advanced Technology Demonstration approval process for the DAS(R&T). These and other outstanding credentials made him an obvious choice for ASJ to interview about the future of Space technology. He spoke by phone from the Pentagon to ASJ's MAJ Laura Kenney on that topic.
