3. CHIEF SYSTEMS ENGINEER OVERSEES CRITICAL INTEGRATION Jeannette Evans-Morgis, as the chief systems engineer for the ASA(ALT), is spear- heading a vision of integrating systems engi- neering to modernize the Army. At the same time, she oversees systems engineering for ASA(ALT) in support of the Army materiel enterprise, that equipment to be delivered to Soldiers meets the needs of
their missions
against any potential adversaries. Appointed to the Senior Executive Service in December 2015, Evans-Morgis came to ASA(ALT) in 2019 to run the Office of the Chief Systems Engineer (OCSE), a position created in March of that year.
OCSE’s mission is to maintain a standards- based architecture for Army-level
integrated
modernization—in particular, configuration management and interoperability across the six computing environments—and to ensure that program managers are aware of the stan- dards. OCSE works with the materiel devel- opment community, requirements developers, Department of the Army staff, and organiza- tions at the joint and coalition levels that deter- mine standards to identify the ones the Army needs to win our nation’s wars.
Before joining ASA(ALT), Evans-Morgis
worked for the U.S. Marine Corps for at least 10 years in various civilian systems engineer- ing positions, ranging from lead systems engi- neer for the Tomahawk Weapons Control Sys- tem, Dahlgren Division K71 team, Naval Sea Systems Command Surface Warfare Center to Marine Corps Systems Command’s deputy to the commander
for systems engineering
and acquisition logistics. She holds an M.S.
in electrical engineering
from Drexel University and a B.S. in electri- cal engineering from George Washington Uni- versity. A member of the Defense Acquisition Corps, Evans-Murgis is Level III certified in
4
program management and in systems engi- neering, and is twice the recipient of the Navy Meritorious Civilian Service Award.
4. CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER PROMOTES INNOVATION, COLLABORATION As the Army looks continuously to a broader mix of partners for innovative materiel and methods with which Soldiers can win wars, Dr. William Cohen advises the ASA(ALT) on how best to leverage technology to en- hance and advance Army capabilities. Co- hen, chief technology officer since November 2018, is involved in all aspects of emerging technologies, from applied research and tech- nology development programs to prototyping and operational deployment.
He provides technical insight, independent
analysis and access to private sector innova- tors and technology leaders who have promis- ing concepts, prototypes, mature technologies and strategies that integrate with ASA(ALT)’s and U.S. Army Futures Command’s shared mission to enhance and advance Army ca- pabilities for a competitive advantage against adversaries. In the process, Cohen works with stakeholders at all echelons to synchronize initiatives and share knowledge.
Previously, Cohen was a principal engineer at Exponent Inc., a science and technology con- sulting firm, where he addressed capability gaps for deployed warfighters, drove iterative product design and performed technology as- sessments. While at Exponent, he spent three years embedded with the U.S. Army Rapid Equipping Force (REF) in Iraq, leading teams in Iraq and Afghanistan in harnessing current and emerging technologies to deliver solu- tions that improved Soldier safety, enhanced capabilities and mitigated risk. After returning from Iraq, Cohen led Exponent’s expedition- ary engineering efforts, designing mobile pro- totyping laboratories for REF and supporting
5
teams overseas. He was chief proponent of Exponent’s MARCbot robot, used for remote inspection of potential
improvised explosive
devices, and led the development of the Rapid Deployment Integrated System to provide pe- rimeter security for joint security stations and combat outposts in theater.
Cohen earned a Ph.D. in industrial engineer- ing and an M.S. in engineering psychology from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, and a B.A. in psychology from the University of California San Diego.
JOINT PROGRAM EXECUTIVE OFFICE FOR CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, RADIOLOGICAL AND NUCLEAR DEFENSE
5. NEW LEADERSHIP AT JPL CBRN In a small ceremony on Oct. 28 in Stafford, Virginia, Michael J. Poe assumed the role of the Joint Project Lead for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Special Operations Forces (JPL CBRN SOF) of
the
Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND). Poe is the senior civilian for leading and directing the JPL CBRN SOF team to rapidly acquire and equip special op- erations forces and special purpose units with critical chemical, biological and radiological defense equipment necessary to fill capability gaps and underwrite mission success. Poe’s wife, Misty Poe, attended the ceremony, as did Brig. Gen. Arthur J. Pasagian, com- mander of Marine Corps Systems Command, and Douglas Bryce, the JPEO-CBRND ex- ecutive officer, among other guests.
Poe served in the U.S. Marine Corps for more than 20 years at the brigade, battalion and company levels. His assignments include mo- tor transport operator, motor transport chief, truck master and Marine Corps drill instructor. He retired from active duty in December 2013.
