Lockheed Martin selected six employees from its Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) to receive that unit's highest award for superior performance in management, technology leadership, inventiveness, or administrative support. Only about three percent of the unit's 180 employees receives the honor annually. An honoree must then wait five years to regain eligibility. Lockheed Martin ATL honored the following employees: Administrative Support -- Ana Hussey, Sewell, NJ: administrative aide, artificial intelligence laboratory. Technology Leadership -- Patrick Lardieri, Voorhees, NJ: manager, distributed processing laboratory - reconfigurable and adaptive computing technologies. -- Patrice Tremoulet, Moorestown, NJ: senior engineer, artificial intelligence laboratory - augmented cognition technologies. -- Janet Wedgwood, Cherry Hill, NJ: lead engineer, embedded processing laboratory - winning business in modeling and simulation technologies. -- Chuck Winters, Mt. Holly, NJ: senior engineer, advanced concepts laboratory - information assurance technologies. Inventiveness -- Marc Olivieri, Marlton, NJ: manager, embedded processing laboratory - communications technologies. The Advanced Technology Laboratories will celebrate honors night at a black-tie dinner and dance with honorees and their companions on May 5, 2006, at the Franklin Institute Science Museum, Philadelphia, PA.
