Dave Kaufman, vice president and general manager of Ball Aerospace‘s national strategic defense business, has been promoted to chief operating officer of the company in a move that takes effect on Jan. 1.

Kaufman previously served as spacecraft systems engineer at Boeing (NYSE: BA) and thermal engineer at Hughes Space and Communications.

Mark Healy, VP of Ball’s national intelligence systems mission area, will replace Kaufman once the latter formally assumes his new role. Healy has three decades of military and industry experience.
