During his 30 year career, Vince has worked many different weapon system programs from tanks, howitzers, mortars and small arms to advanced systems like remotely operated weapons and advanced energy systems. Early in his career he was the Army's Technical Lead for the M95 Mortar Fire Control System development program, a very successful program providing never before seen position and navigation, weapon pointing, and ballistic calculation capability to the mounted mortar battalion. That system was also used as the baseline for the subsequently developed digital fire control system for towed artillery (M777 and M119). Vince has spent the past ten years in JPEO Armaments and Ammunition (formerly PEO Ammo), overseeing portfolios of technology and development projects. In this role, he is responsible for facilitating transitions of technology into programs to be fielded to our Warfighters. Vince is also an active representative of the DoD Fuze IPT, where he leads and supports multiple improvement efforts. He is here today to discuss one of those efforts.
