Department of Homeland Security’s
Science and Technology Directorate
John Kubricky was appointed to the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate by the President as its first Director of Systems Engineering and Development (SED) in October, 2003. John’s primary responsibility is to integrate proven technologies into systems for demonstration, operational test and evaluation, and pre-production prototypes. SED programs range from large-scale integration projects and initial deployment of threat mitigation systems to pre-production prototypes and the transition of military technologies to homeland security applications. Examples include the Counter-MANPADS Program that will protect commercial aircraft from an emerging threat of shoulder-launched missiles; BioWatch, a network of detectors to warn of a biological attack; the CBRNE Countermeasures Test Bed to assess next-generation sensor systems in operational environments; and Interoperability projects such as the SAFECOM program, which enables public safety communications interoperability.
Prior to joining the Department, John’s career in industry was as a prime systems integrator of tactical intelligence systems on airborne, ground and marine platforms. He is credited with designing, integrating and fielding the US Army’s first multi-sensor aircraft, for developing real-time multi-sensor fusion workstations that became a standard for today’s tactical intelligence processing systems, and for the rapid prototyping of Unmanned and Optionally Piloted Airborne Vehicles, which included over 25,000 flight hours in world-wide deployments. In addition to his experience leading tactical intelligence programs, John is a veteran program manager in strategic reconnaissance engineering, manufacturing and test programs.
He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Johns Hopkins University, where he also attended the graduate program for Industrial Management.
