  Jun 1985 - Oct 1989

  Senior System Engineer

  I initially worked in the Future Systems Group of the Airborne Radar Division, which concentrated on developing new concepts and techniques for use in future airborne radars. My main areas of work were mathematical modelling of radar modes, signal processing algorithm development and system design for radar proposals. This included developing signal processing algorithms for complex radar modes of operation and the development of a detailed computer simulation to predict the performance of typical multi-mode radars.In the later part of this employment period I worked on the European Fighter Aircraft (EFA) project, where I was responsible for providing systems support, especially in the areas of radar performance prediction, to the European consortium. This involved performing system design, proposal preparation and presentation and dealing with detailed technical questions from the Customer.I was also responsible for the day to day supervision of other staff members, which involved work planning, delegation and on-the-job training.
