Dana White Starr and Warren H. White established the Warren D. White Memorial Fund in 1999 and the Warren D. White Award to memorialize their father. The award is to recognize a radar engineer for outstanding achievements due to a major technical advance (or series of advances) in the art of radar engineering. The advance, significant, public, and well known, shall be evidenced by technical papers, inventions, presentations, or products.

Please use nomination form found here. Do not use any nomination form but this one.

Chair of the Warren D. White Award:

Braham Himed

Warren D. White Award Chair (2019-2020); AESS Magazine Tutorials; Magazine Editorial Board; Radar Systems Panel Past-Chair

Committee: Braham Himed, Mark Davis, Hugh Griffiths, Maria Sabrina Greco, Moeness Amin, Marshall Greenspan

Nomination Deadline: 31 January

Prize:

$2,000, a plaque, and travel expenses funded by a Memorial Endowment (The President of the Society may authorize, if needed by the winner, up to $1,000 for travel expenses to the conference where the award is being presented.)

Funding:

Warren D. White Memorial Endowment (administered by AESS, managed by IEEE Foundation).

Eligibility:

The nominee shall have made a major technical contribution, or a series of such contributions, to the art of radar engineering. This contribution shall be evidenced to the radar community through technical papers, presentations, inventions, or products. It is expected the nature of the nominee’s contribution shall be so significant its impact will be well-known to the radar community at large, inclusive of the members of the AESS Radar Panel.
