Acquisition and Deployment Directorate (PADD), and Transformational and
Applied Research Directorate (TARD), as well as Test and Evaluation (T&E)
work of SEED Test Managers, Test Directors, and Test Scientists. Among
others, Dr. Moore prepared the T&E program overview documents which were
presented by the Assistant Directors to the Congressional Staffers,
Government Accountability Office (GAO), as well as representatives of other
federal, state, and local agencies. Dr. Moore also designed, or contributed to
a variety of programmatic document templates such as: T&E Program Plan,
T&E Cost Estimate, Interagency Agreement (IAA), as well as drafted a variety
of specific Statements of Work (SOW).
* Dr. Moore designed and built a comprehensive, Systems Engineering and
Evaluation Directorate (SEED)-wide, integrated, resource-loaded master
schedule (IMS) for all Test and Evaluation (T&E) events in FY08-09 which
were directed by a team of Test Directors from the Defense Threat Reduction
Agency (DTRA). The IMS was built according to the DNDO OI-1 rules and
was based on the structured, test planning milestone process. The IMS
helped greatly the DTRA test team as well as the SEED corporate
management and DOE participating teams in managing efficiently both the
interagency human and material test resources as well as allowed to
successfully optimize the whole suite of various test events scattered around
the country.
* Dr. Moore conducted for the Systems Engineering and Evaluation
Directorate (SEED) and Product Acquisition and Deployment Directorate
(PADD), a thorough market analysis along with the technology and systems
engineering analysis in the area of non-intrusive inspection applications of
interest to CBP. Dr. Moore provided descriptions on the basics of operation of
such systems, their component technologies, as well as performed a detailed
review of all currently available systems on the market along with their
technical characteristics, potential applications as well as limitations. The
review was accompanied by a cost estimate provided to SEED and PADD
ahead of the system selection process for a potential Test and Evaluation
(T&E) campaign.
* Dr. Moore performed a comprehensive compilation of all Systems
Engineering and Evaluation Directorate (SEED) Test and Evaluation (T&E)
events which ever occurred at DNDO in the years FY05-11 along with the
basic technical and logistical information, and presented the resulting report
in the form of a T&E Index which constituted a basis for a DNDO Directory of
T&E Events established at the DOE ANL Report Archive and Analysis System
(RAAS). Dr. Moore also served as the DNDO Coordinator for the overall SEED
T&E Data Management activities, interfacing with the DOE ANL RAAS System
Managers and Test Scientists.
* Dr. Moore organized and built a comprehensive library of documents,
generating many of them, for the Transformational and Applied Research
Directorate (TARD) and Systems Engineering and Evaluation Directorate
(SEED) in the area of Cargo Advanced Automatic Radiography Systems
(CAARS), documenting the full campaign of three different Test and
Evaluation (T&E) events, covering three different non-intrusive inspection
systems under development provided by three different manufacturers.
* Dr. Moore compiled a comprehensive FY05-11 DNDO-tested Rad/Nuc
Equipment Inventory along with the detailed technical and logistical
information as well as generated a set of Test and Evaluation (T&E) event
Abstracts accompanied by the hyperlinked Test Reports imbedded in the
DNDO database.
* Dr. Moore performed a detailed analysis of technical performance, and
based on the results - provided recommendations for the Rad/Nuc detection
equipment for the new World Trade Center complex. The recommendations
were delivered to the Assistant Directors of the Systems Engineering and
Evaluation Directorate (SEED) and Product Acquisition and Deployment
Directorate (PADD) who further transmitted the information to the authorities
of New York City.
* Dr. Moore coordinated the overall management process of a variety of T&E
events such as: CAARS, RDSC (drafted the RDSC Test Procedure and the
RDSC Operational Assessment Plan), FSDS, IRAIL, ANDM, He-3, Crawdad,
and EWO, providing logistical and document review support to appropriate
DNDO/DTRA Test Managers, Test Directors, and Test Scientists.
* Dr. Moore coordinated on a daily basis the overall T&E program
management activities and information exchange (both classified, sensitive,
and public) with other agencies such as: DTRA, US Army, DOE, FEMA, CBP,
USCG, TSA, local authorities, as well as DNDO contractors at Systems
Engineering Support Program (SESP). As part of this activity
as an
example - Dr. Moore performed a comprehensive analysis of all DNDO test
events which involved the Backpacks, compiled the relevant Test Reports,
assembled information on the Rad/Nuc Backpacks available on the market as
well as those offered at FEMA, and submitted the resulting information
package to the US Army at their request.
Program Management & Analysis Experience
Dr Moore worked in the areas of scientific research, technology development,
systems engineering, program/project management and analysis, editorial
work, as well as academic education for the past 28 years. His management
experience includes all aspects of those areas, including strategic planning at
the U.S. Government, analysis of organizational structures, technology
system acquisition models, program coordination and reporting to U.S.
Congress and Office of Management and Budget, the Federal Budget Process
as well as interactions with the private industry and universities. Dr Moore
s
qualifications combine program management, program analysis, conference
organization, scientific work, engineering design, academic teaching as well
as scientific journal management and review.
Dr Moore holds both an MSc and PhD degrees in Aerospace and Mechanical
Engineering, and as a scientist, engineer, and program manager has
generated about 75 publications with a focus on space, aerospace, and
automotive propulsion systems, advanced power generation and combustion
physics. Most of Dr Moore
s work involved areas of interest to U.S. DoD, DHS,
DOE, NASA, DOC, and EPA and was driven by such policies as the
international Montreal Protocol and national NEPA, CAA, CWA, RCRA, CERCLA
(e.g. the Superfund) as implemented by U.S. DoD and U.S. DOE.
Dr Moore worked as Managing Editor of the international scientific journal
Archivum Combustionis
(Archives of Combustion), organizer and co-chair of
international symposia in the areas of propulsion & energy, co-editor of
international proceedings, as well as program and peer reviewer at U.S.
Government and academia. Dr Moore also served as Assistant Chair of the
Fuels & Advanced Combustion Technologies Division of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers. In the latter capacity he worked within the
professional community of the fuel industry as well as combustion scientists,
engineers, managers, and policymakers.
Dr Moore
s most recent work at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) was focused on program
management and analysis in the areas of systems acquisition, systems
engineering, technology analysis, as well as test and evaluation of new
technologies under development. Dr. Moore supported the overall corporate
work of DNDO Assistant Directors as well as Test and Evaluation (T&E) work
of Test Managers, Test Directors, and Test Scientists. Among others, Dr.
Moore prepared the T&E program overview documents which were presented
by the Assistant Directors to the Congressional Staffers, Government
Accountability Office (GAO), as well as representatives of other federal, state,
and local agencies. Dr. Moore also designed, and contributed to a variety of
programmatic document templates such as: T&E Program Plan, T&E Cost
Estimate, Interagency Agreement (IAA), as well as prepared drafts of a
variety of specific Statements of Work (SOW).
Also at DNDO, Dr. Moore designed and built a comprehensive, Systems
Engineering and Evaluation Directorate -wide, integrated, resource-loaded
master schedule (IMS) for all Test and Evaluation events in FY08-09 which
were directed by a team of Test Directors from the Defense Threat Reduction
Agency (DTRA). The IMS was built according to the DNDO OI-1 rules and was
based on the structured, test planning milestone process. The IMS helped
greatly the DTRA test team as well as the SEED corporate management and
DOE participating teams in - effectively and efficiently - managing both the
interagency human and material test resources as well as allowed to
successfully optimize the whole suite of various test events scattered around
the country.
Dr Moore
s prior, 5-year work at the NASA Headquarters (HQ) involved
Knowledge Management and Information Analysis in high-risk areas of space
science, technology development, and nuclear policy. One of his major
achievements was a 2001 update of the NASA Technology Plan, prepared for
the Office of Space Science. Dr Moore
s follow up effort was creation of the
2003-2005 Space Technology Database (350 projects at $200M/Y) that
served as a basis for program planning decisions by the Office and Division
Directors.
Dr Moore
s other contributions at the NASA HQ were inputs with ideas into
the latest, 2004 NASA Space Exploration Plan - as presented by the U.S.
President in 2004, as well as a review of the Program Discovery technology
implementation effectiveness, performed for the Science Mission Directorate
Deputy Associate Administrator. Yet another contribution was a new ITAR /
EAR Guide / Decision-making Flowchart which Dr Moore prepared for the
NASA HQ Office of External Relations.
Interagency collaboration as well as data calls coordination and
communication between the NASA HQ and many Field Centers, and other
U.S. Government agencies such as DoD, DOE, DOC and international
organizations (ESA), including interactions with the industry and universities
were an essential part of Dr Moore
s duties and responsibilities. During the
past several years he worked closely with many executives and senior
managers both in the U.S. Government and private industry as well as with
many international professors, scientists and engineers. The work involved a
variety of activities such as: purely scientific efforts, organization of
international conferences, chairing scientific sessions, managing editorial
efforts, coordinating U.S. Government programs and interagency interactions,
and contributing to coordination of international symposia. Some of these
activities required learning of the latest U.S. Government initiatives in the
area of public diplomacy, including even such critical efforts as those
associated with the new war on terror.
Dr Moore also developed some ideas regarding the current world security
scene and the use of nuclear deterrence as a stabilizing force. Some of his
recommendations (implemented by DoD) included a suggestion of creating a
common interagency model of technology development, with a common
terminology, criteria, and processes, and also another suggestion of creating
interagency management centers with a funding and management
responsibility for technology development programs and projects at low
Technology Readiness Levels; organization of interagency collaboration,
primarily between NASA (HQ and Field Centers), DoD (DARPA, AFRL, NRL,
DISA, and U.S. Army), and DOE (HQ and national labs) with an identification
of technical areas for potential, direct collaboration.
All those activities required thorough knowledge of management and
organizational principles and practices during all interactions with the senior
management representatives. Most importantly, the recommendations
developed could be used as guidelines for the next versions of the U.S.
Government structures, including such organizations as NASA, DoD, and
DOE, and their strategic and performance plans in compliance with the
Government Performance and Results Act.
Technical Expertise (Science, Technology, Engineering)
Dr Moore has experience in managing and conducting basic and applied
research on space, aeronautics, automotive, power generation, and fire
science problems, including energy and environmental policy aspects. His
major focus was on energy and propulsion systems, including combustion
physics, pollution prevention, alternative fuels, sensors and instruments, as
well as advanced computer modeling. He was a managing editor of an
international scientific journal and conference proceedings, organizer of
international symposia, and chair of conference sessions. He coordinated a
U.S. Department of Defense's effort on international technology transfer with
Poland.
Dr Moore provided substantial technical and management expertise within an
extensive technology development program, driven by international
environmental policy, in the area of the military aircraft, funded and
managed by the U.S. Air Force WPAFB. He also was a teaching professor at a
university and secretary of faculty graduation and admission examination
committees. In 1999-2000, he was Assistant Chair of the ASME Fuels &
Combustion Technologies Division. In 1998 and 1999 he was Session Chair
on computer modeling at ASME Int. Joint Power Generation Conference.
Areas of interest included: combustion optimization / pollution minimization /
process efficiency.
Dr Moore was an SAIC's Principal Investigator at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology on applications of state of the art computer
software to simulations of gravity effects on fluid flow, heat/mass transfer,
and combustion phenomena in space systems (e.g. missiles, space station,
space shuttle, or other planets) - all of which involved environmental policy
aspects (e.g. Montreal Protocol, CAA, CWA, RCRA, CERCLA, etc.) included
into the USAF planning activities.
As SAIC Program Manager, he developed ideas on advanced space, missile,
and aircraft propulsion (booster) systems, based on his detonation
enhancement discovery, presented to Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Whitney.
The ideas utilized application of novel / advanced fuels. Dr Moore also
collaborated with the Center for Space and Advanced Technology, preparing
expertises for McDonnell-Douglas in the area of civilian aircraft fire safety,
and applicable also to space systems.
Dr Moore was also an SAIC's PI for the military aircraft halon program,
managed and funded by the USAF, Navy, Army, and Federal Aviation
Administration. As a university Guest Researcher at NIST, he studied and
analyzed highly dynamic, compressible phenomena in flames and
detonations, applicable to missile systems and also space explosions. This
extensive research program was driven by the United Nations Montreal
Protocol policy as adopted by the U.S. military agencies.
Dr Moore served as Research Associate at the Catholic University of America,
focusing on chemical kinetics problems, applicable to other planet
atmospheric studies, which was funded by DOE and National Science
Foundation. He worked at the Warsaw University of Technology as Assistant
Professor, Research Fellow, and Research Associate in the areas of aerospace,
automotive, propulsion, power generation and fire safety systems.
At U.S. DHS DNDO, Dr. Moore conducted for the Systems Engineering and
Evaluation Directorate (SEED) and Product Acquisition and Deployment
Directorate (PADD), a thorough market analysis along with the technology
and systems engineering analysis in the area of non-intrusive inspection
applications of interest to CBP. Dr. Moore provided descriptions on the basics
of operation of such systems, their component technologies, as well as
performed a detailed review of all currently available systems on the market
along with their technical characteristics, potential applications as well as
limitations. The review was accompanied by a cost estimate provided to
SEED and PADD ahead of the system selection process for a potential Test
and Evaluation (T&E) campaign.
Also at DNDO, Dr. Moore performed a detailed analysis of technical
performance, and
based on the results - provided recommendations for the
Rad/Nuc detection equipment for the new World Trade Center complex. The
recommendations were delivered to the Assistant Directors of the Systems
Engineering and Evaluation Directorate (SEED) and Product Acquisition and
Deployment Directorate (PADD) who further transmitted the information to
the authorities of New York City.
Ability to Manage and Build Teams
One of Dr Moore
s major efforts in the recent years (2000-2007) at the NASA
HQ was coordination of interagency collaboration, primarily between NASA,
DoD, and DOE. The collaboration included meetings and interactions with the
agency management teams (mostly Office and Division Directors or their
Deputies); analyses of policies, planning documents, programs, and projects;
as well as identification and recommendations of areas for collaboration,
including creation of a unified technology development model and
interagency management centers, focused on early stages of technology
maturation - presented at The Pentagon and published by the Project
Management Institute and College of Performance Management.
Another recent significant achievement, which required building a coalition
and good communication among many Government centers and people, was
an update of information for the NASA HQ technology database on the in-
space propulsion programs and projects funded and performed by the Federal
Government. This was a follow up to the previous extensive effort of
analyzing the technology development, planning, and acquisition processes
at the U.S. Government. The latter effort involved communication and
coordination with over 100 managers, scientists, and engineers scattered
across the country.
Yet another Dr Moore's personal achievement was a team of experts built
between the U.S. Department of Commerce, the University of Maryland, and
Science Applications International Corporation. The work of this team
resulted in an R&D roadmap delineated to provide the U.S. industries with
state-of-the-art development tools. It also resulted in several technical
papers presented at international symposia, and an overview presentation
that was presented to a wide industrial audience during a workshop at the
DOC.
Dr Moore also provided support to programmatic management of a $13-
25M/year technology development program at the Headquarters of the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE HQ), Office of Environmental Management, Office
of Science and Technology (EM OST). The program involved, as in the case of
NASA, a great deal of remote sensing and in-situ, laser-based measurement
techniques, applicable to space, earth (environment), and other planet
sciences.
At DOE HQ, Dr Moore
s main responsibility was coordination between the DOE
HQ Program Manager and DOE Field Operations Offices, of 12 PhD
professionals on the management team; contributions to reports and
responses to Congress; preparation of business reviews, including
information on performance and budget; preparation and editing of key
documents such as Multiyear Program Plan, Performance Plan, Technology
Summary Sheets, Fact Sheets, Success Stories, Internal Review Budget,
Technical Task Plans and Project Execution Guidelines; project milestone,
cost and schedule variance analyses; distribution of documents; gathering
and maintenance of information on development, performance, and infusion
of technologies; and maintenance of data and graphics information in the
DOE Internet-based database. He also performed complex tasks for the Office
Deputy Assistant Secretary and Office Directors, analyzing the Office
programs at the budget of $250M/Y (about 350 projects), and preparing
presentations and briefings to Congress.
At U.S. DHS DNDO, Dr. Moore coordinated on a daily basis the overall T&E
program management activities and information exchange (both classified,
sensitive, and public) with other agencies such as: DTRA, US Army, DOE,
FEMA, CBP, USCG, TSA, local authorities, as well as DNDO contractors at
Systems Engineering Support Program (SESP). As part of this activity
as an
example - Dr. Moore performed a comprehensive analysis of all DNDO test
events which involved the Rad/Nuc Backpacks, compiled the relevant Test
Reports, assembled information on the Backpacks available on the market as
well as those offered at FEMA, and submitted the resulting information
package to the US Army at their request.
Ability to Communicate Effectively other than in Writing
Dr Moore has overall 28 years of experience in program and project
management, administration, and coordination at the U.S. Government
(DHS, DoD, DOE, NASDA, DOC), including work as a former university
professor, scientist, and engineer as well as managing editor of an
international scientific journal. In the recent years, he worked full time as a
contract employee at the NASA Headquarters, performing a comprehensive
update, review and analysis of the technology development programs,
including their budget (about $200M), schedule, and technical performance.
This effort involved direct, personal interactions with the Principal
Investigators funded by NASA, including many technical discussions and
document exchanges.
For the past five years Dr Moore worked in the areas of homeland security,
space science, technology, and policy, formulating advanced concepts, and
preparing advanced analyses, evaluations, and doing coordination work for
the DHS HQ Directors, as well as for the NASA HQ Directors. One of his major
efforts was coordination of interagency collaboration, primarily with such DoD
agencies as DTRA, DARPA, AFRL, AFOSR, NRL, ARL, DISA as well as DOE
organizations. The collaboration included meetings and interactions with the
agency management teams (mostly Office and Division Directors); analyses
of policies, planning documents, programs, and projects; as well as
identification and recommendations of areas for interagency collaboration,
including a proposal of creation of a unified technology development model
and interagency management centers, focused on early stages of technology
maturation process. The result of this interagency effort was presented by Dr
Moore at The Pentagon and then published by the Project Management
Institute.
In the previous four years Dr Moore provided programmatic management a
$13-25M/year technology development program at the Headquarters of the
U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science and Technology. His main
responsibility was coordination, between the DOE Headquarters and its field
offices, of 12 PhD professionals on the management team; contributions to
reports and responses to Congress; preparation of monthly business reviews,
including information on performance and budget; and preparation and
editing of key documents such as multiyear program plans, annual
performance plans, and success stories. He also performed complex tasks for
the Office Deputy Assistant Secretary, analyzing the Office programs at the
budget of $250M/Y (about 350 projects), and preparing presentations and
briefings to Congress.
Dr Moore also led a large effort, for DoD, in international technology transfer
with Poland within the PfP, interacting directly with top officials at the Polish
Embassy in Washington DC and with top management of many organizations
in Poland. Before coming to DOE, Dr Moore worked for about four years at the
U.S. Department of Commerce on international projects funded and managed
by the U.S. Air Force, under the Montreal Protocol policy.
One of his major management and coordination achievements there was a
design of a draft roadmap for the next stage of a military aircraft safety R&D
program which was subsequently funded by the Office of the Director of
Defense Research and Engineering. To achieve that, Dr Moore had to directly
coordinate work of a few NIST Divisions, and interact with many team leaders
and technical experts. The final draft roadmap consisted of 18 proposed
projects, and was submitted to USAF. Also, a few other white papers with
ideas for subsequent R&D programs, to solve various technical problems
experienced by the USAF, were submitted.
As a university professor and scientist in Poland as well as in the U.S. (about
12 years), Dr Moore worked as a co-organizer and co-chair of a few large
international conferences; served as an Assistant Chair of a large
international professional organization; and managing editor of an
international scientific journal. He also served on a university admission
examination committee.
Ability to Communicate in Writing
Dr Moore, as a program coordinator, university professor, and scientist, has
published about 75 scientific papers and technical reports, many of them

At U.S. DHS DNDO, Dr. Moore performed a comprehensive compilation of all
Systems Engineering and Evaluation Directorate Test and Evaluation events
which ever occurred at DNDO in the years FY05-11 along with the basic
technical and logistical information, and presented the resulting document in
the form of a T&E Index which constituted a basis for a DNDO Directory of
T&E Events established at the DOE ANL Report Archive and Analysis System
(RAAS). Dr. Moore also served as the DNDO Coordinator for the overall SEED
T&E Data Management activities, interfacing with the DOE ANL RAAS System
Managers and Test Scientists.
Also at DNDO, Dr. Moore organized and built a comprehensive library of
documents, generating many of them, for the Transformational and Applied
Research Directorate (TARD) and Systems Engineering and Evaluation
Directorate (SEED) in the area of Cargo Advanced Automatic Radiography
Systems (CAARS), documenting the full campaign of three different Test and
Evaluation (T&E) events, covering three different non-intrusive inspection
systems under development provided by three different manufacturers.
Dr. Moore also compiled a comprehensive FY05-11 DNDO-tested Rad/Nuc
Equipment Inventory along with the detailed technical and test logistical
information as well as generated a set of Test and Evaluation (T&E) event
Abstracts (scientific journal quality) accompanied by the hyperlinked Test
Reports imbedded in the DNDO database.
