2004 Senior Systems Engineer NITEworks - Farnborough
NITEworks (Network Integration Test Experimentation works) Battlespace Architect: The six-month secondment into the new business has been an excellent experience, working with the seven partner companies, the MoD, Customer 1 and 2. The role initially began with the formation of the architectures and processes required for the first phase of the Kill Chain Development Theme, one of a growing number of themes. I played a key role in the configuration of the first NITEworks experiment, which was a success with the MoD and the wider NITEworks community. The results were delivered to the customer community; this began a structure of a Cross Theme study and the expansion of the second phase of the Kill Chain Development.
