Howard Longyear
Deputy Executive Director
Director of Engineering

Mr. Longyear has worked as an electrical engineer over 25 years. He is experienced in all phases of hardware and software development. He has performed in system, lead hardware, and senior software engineering roles and has been a key contributor to the development and deployment of several SIGINT and ELINT systems. Mr. Longyear has designed and developed signal processing algorithms and software for Tone (FSK) and Pulse Doppler signal types. He has also designed and developed firmware for applications ranging from SNR test equipment to an all-firmware BPSK demodulator and bit synchronizer. He is a visionary system designer and technical problem solver. He is able to apply theory to real-world problems to define and deliver requirement compliant systems within schedule and budget constraints. Mr. Longyear has digital design expertise in TTL, ECL, CMOS, and Gate Array technologies, analog design experience in IF to baseband frequencies, system frequency planning, and link budget analysis. He is a system/project engineer responsible for designing  and developing DSP COTS solutions for a variety of real-time signal processing systems.  He is working on project activities that include re-hosting a real-time pulse Doppler radar processor and combat ID system to a COTS/VME architecture.  He is also participating in the design of a digitizer that incorporates zoom analytic tuning and real-time waterfall spectral displays.
