This model was developed for and is used by the U.S. Marine Corps Deputy Commandant for Programs and Resources for resource and acquisition planning.
"Jason is an exceptional example of the young talent at the company," said Tom Shelman, president of Northrop Grumman IT's Defense group. "Northrop Grumman strives to give its employees the tools and opportunities necessary to develop applications that will benefit and help prepare the U.S. military for deployment and field operations."
Each year in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Defense, the National Training and Simulation Association presents awards to individuals or teams from industry for outstanding achievements in modeling and simulation. Awards are given for outstanding achievement in the specific modeling and simulation functional areas of training, analysis and acquisition, and for outstanding achievements in support of the overall modeling and simulation.
