To recognize an individual or team at any level who were industry employees whose technical contributions have resulted in significant advances in integrated electronic systems and large-scale integrated interoperable systems within the scope of the Society.
Award/Recognition Menu
$1,500 per awardee (up to a maximum of $4,500 per award) and a framed certificate. In the event that there are more than three awardees, the maximum prize shall be divided equally among all awardees and each shall receive a framed certificate.
Funded by the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society
At a convenient IEEE AESS conference
The award shall be open to individuals at any level who were industry employees and played a significant role in the technical contribution at the time of the accomplishments being recognized. The candidate does not have to be an IEEE/AESS member, but given everything else being equal, a member will be given preferential consideration. Current officers and members of the AESS Board of Governors are ineligible. Self-nominations are not accepted or considered.
For questions, please contact the AESS VP Awards.
2026
For the improved batch least-squares algorithm provides dynamic calibration and compensation of ephemeral errors that cannot be removed by static calibration, such as non-uniform temperature gradients on the array or local atmospheric disturbances altering actual refraction, maintaining low relative error between tracks in conditions that can cause significant disturbance to the track picture without the iBLS algorithm.
2025
For contributions to high fidelity RF modeling and simulation
2024
For innovations in automotive imaging and electronically steerable radars implemented in autonomous vehicles and used for active safety capabilities.
2023
For engineering and implementing System Level Discrimination (SLD) in the Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) system. This enhancement significantly decreases the number of interceptors used by engaging weapon systems in the Missile Defense System (MDS) while maintaining engagement performance.
2022
For pioneering innovations in simulation-based training, intelligent-decision aiding, and intelligent-process management
2021
For contributions to formal verification of microprocessors for aerospace applications and Boolean Satisfiability for SAT solvers
2020
For seminal contributions in advanced inertial guidance and their successful transition to defense and commercial applications
