Brian Wood, a more than 20-year DCS veteran, has been named vice president and division manager of the robotic systems division at the Alexandria, Virginia-based professional services provider.
Wood will be responsible for overseeing the development of robotic systems, command and control and autonomous architecture and safety programs for the Ground Vehicle Systems Center of U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, DCS said Thursday.
He will also provide program management support to a $2.1 billion contract DCS secured to provide technical engineering services to GVSC.
Wood joined DCS in 1999 and has been credited for driving ground vehicle research and development programs focused on manned and unmanned teaming, indirect driving, robotic software and architecture and crew-enabling payload control.
“Brian has been critical to the development and integration of DCS robotics and autonomous systems capabilities,” said Bill Protzman, president and chief operating officer at DCS.
