DR. WILLIAM A. SEIDLER II

Ohio University Clearance: B.S., 1967, Physics, summa cum laude Top Secret Massachusetts Institute Of Technology M.S., 1969; Ph.D., 1972, Nuclear Physics BOEING 1998-Present Dr. William (Bill) Seidler is a Senior Technical Fellow of the Boeing Company with over 40 years of experience in nuclear weapons effects and homeland security. . He has received his IEEE Fellow Award “for contribution to research in electromagnetic pulse effects” and has over 50 papers in referred journals and 75 reports to his credit. Dr. Seidler is one of the country’s leading experts in nuclear weapons identification, effects, test and evaluation. He has served as a senior advisor for the Department of Energy Stockpile Stewardship Radiation Effects Program at Sandia National Laboratories. He is currently the Deputy for the Boeing Defense, Space and Security Systems on the Senior Technical Fellowship Leadership Team responsible for technical excellence in Boeing’s engineering team. Bill was elected to this position by the Boeing Defense Space and Security Senior Technical Fellows and confirmed by John Tracy, Boeing’s Chief Technical Officer.

Dr. Seidler is currently tasked with bringing new research opportunities into Boeing through the Huntsville site and has 11 independent research teams covering adjacencies critical to Boeing Defense Space and Security--cyber warfare, fusion propulsion, wide area persistent surveillance, solar energy, explosive detection, orthogonal threat sensors (MMW & THz), nano-satellites, robotics, rotorcraft, and spiking neural networks. Bill organized each of these with co-leads from the Boeing Fellowship and the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Research Institute -- each working on their own time to develop potential research. Those teams not led by Bill were continuously mentored by him. These teams have been marketing the US Army and NASA customers on Redstone Arsenal. Since these teams are composed of employees who contribute their own time, Boeing is able to generate whitepapers for a fraction of the cost normally required by a research team. When Bill briefed John Tracy on this program, he declared that it should be a model for all sites

Recently, Bill convinced the Department of Defense to provide the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) with a three terawatt pulse power machine that had been used in nuclear effects testing. With this machine UAH will become the largest academic pulse power laboratory in the world dedicated to research in advance fusion (thermonuclear) propulsion for deep space missions. NASA and Oak Ridge National Labs have agreed to join Boeing in developing this facility whose goal is to train the research teams of the future as well as invent a Saturn 5 class fusion rocket. Bill was successful in briefing the upper management of the Marshall Space Flight Center and obtained their partnership in this new propulsion technology. The dedication is planned for fall 2012. Bill is the engineering advisor and liaison to several local universities including UAH, the Alabama A&M University, and Vanderbilt University. He is currently supporting the development of a nuclear sciences program at Alabama A&M as well as the UAH fusion propulsion research facility.

Dr. Seidler supported the Integrated Battle Control System (IBCS) by developing the initial nuclear survivability and environmental approaches. He developed the flow of nuclear environments on the system based upon the system specification, briefed the Army customer and their advisors on the implications of their specifications. He identified mitigation approaches and trained both the Boeing and Northup

Grumman leads for survivability in the background and computational approaches to respond to the Army’s questions. Dr. Seidler served as the Chief Scientist for the Secure Borders Initiative Network (SBInet) developing a winning technical strategy. He was requested to support the SBInet since he was the technical lead of the only security architecture analysis team within Boeing, the Radiological Nuclear Countermeasure System Architecture Analysis (RNCSAA) Program which developed a global architecture to interdict terrorist use of nuclear weapons. This RNCSAA team became the engineering team for the SBInet with Bill as the chief architect and technologist. Bill conceived of the approach for fixed towers since our border patrol agents were leery of technology. These agents valued reliability and safety above all else. This program provided over $2B in new business to Boeing since its inception. Bill served as the Chief Scientist for new developments in the start up phase of this program. Dr. Seidler used advanced information analysis tools to illustrate a capability for maritime security situational awareness that became known as “Left of X” where X indicated a terrorist event. This capability was briefed to the STRATCOM commander in the Virtual Warfare Center. Bill authored a whitepaper on the indicators and warnings that should be monitored in crew, passengers, ships and cargo that has been published. He briefed the State Department, Navy and Coast Guard representatives developing the unified maritime domain awareness approach at STRATCOM. “Left of X” formed the basis for this government unified approach. Dr. Seidler serves as the Senior Technical Fellow advising the Enterprise Technical Strategy in Systems Engineering and Analysis. He has developed the methodology for getting the Affordable Complex System Integration Team to identify and actively plan the implementation of those technologies which can keep Boeing the premier company in aerospace technologies. Bill served as Pink Team through Gold Team review leader alternately on the Completion Volume (Technical Volume 1), the Technical Approach (Technical Volume 2) and the Systems Engineering Management Plan for the Aegis Combat Systems Engineering Agent and B61 Tail Kit Proposals. Dr. Seidler is working with the Boeing Research and Technology Team in developing new technologies in homeland and maritime security. His recent papers in effective architectures to interdict nuclear terrorists were of great interest to his customers. He has led the capture team for the Office of Naval Research Environmental and Ship Motion Forecasting for the Global Maritime Domain (GMD) team. He has developed an active approach to detect special nuclear materials (SNM) from a distance of 10s of meters by applying the Sandia Laboratories Short Pulse Interrogation with Neutron (SPIN) technology. Bill co-authored four whitepaper proposals for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Nimble Elder Program. Dr. Seidler developed and patented a Remote Fissile Material Detector (US 6,448, 562 B1) that uses the UV airglow generated by the interaction of gamma rays from special nuclear materials with the surrounding air. This sensor was a specialized UV camera which could detect the shape and presence of radioactive materials at distances greater than 20 km. He recently submitted a patent disclosure on a solid state neutron source imaging system that uses dual PIN diode structures to dramatically increase the capture probability of low energy neutrons while preserving the accuracy of the reaction location. He has developed the concept of using unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with sensitive neutron and gamma ray detectors to identify the presence of special nuclear materials at sea. Dr. Seidler was the Technical Lead for the Maritime Domain Awareness demonstration that fused open source intelligence with commercial ship identification systems and radars to detect and interdict adversaries well off the US Border. He developed the methods for evaluating sensor systems used in detecting and identifying radiological materials. His techniques are based on the counting statistics against

background for line emission for dangerous materials compared to medical and natural concentrations of isotopes. His techniques promise to reduce false alarm rates over current approaches. Dr. Seidler developed the survivability program for the Ground based Mid-Course Defense System and the Ground Based Interceptor. Bill correctly identified the risk of neutron and solar flare single event effects in the commercial designs of the interceptor and developed a mitigation strategy that will save the program significant resources. He developed the radiation hardening approach for the Multiple Miniature Kill Vehicle, an advanced technology program within the Missile Defense Agency. Dr. Seidler developed an integrated support team consisting of participants from several integrated product teams. This team was instrumental in providing timely data to resolve the issues of Ground Based Interceptor hardness. Dr. Seidler has been called upon by the Joint Project Office to Brief the Defense Science Board on the National Missile Defense (NMD) approach to system nuclear testing. He has successfully argued for the retention of critical nuclear radiation test facilities at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, the Defense Science Board on Nuclear Simulation and the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation. He was a reviewer of the Nuclear Weapons Effects programs at Sandia National Laboratory for the Department of Energy and a member of the GMD Joint Project Office Survivability Capability Enhancement Working Group. JAYCOR 1978 – 1998 Dr. Seidler was a Principal Physicist and Division Manager of the Electronic and Electro Optical Systems Division in Huntsville, Alabama. Dr. Seidler supported the development of the DECADE Radiation Test Facility, which is capable of simulating the effects of multiple nuclear environments over small systems. He developed the Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) proposal that funded further upgrades. This facility was critical to the development and validation of systems such as Ground Based Missile Defense and Space Based Infrared Systems. He has developed a theory of neutron single event effects and demonstrated its veracity in experiments at the Sandia Pulsed Reactor facility. He developed several techniques to harden systems against neutron single event effects. He developed a computer tool, which produces nuclear specifications based upon a sound understanding of the theater air defense scenarios, which can be employed by program offices to define the nuclear environments that must be tolerated by the system. He developed the use of hardware in the loop facilities to predict the system response to nuclear effects measured in multiple subsystems. This technique was documented in the Sensor Design and Test Protocols at the Defense Special Weapons Agency. Dr. Seidler was involved in ten underground nuclear effects tests as a major experimenter for the Defense Nuclear Threat Reduction Agency from 1978 to the end of testing in the early 1990s. Dr. Seidler developed and validated a theory of prompt dose rate upset in SOS and SOI technologies that can be used to audit chip designs and predict their upset thresholds to within 30%. He developed low noise test techniques which measured the dynamic upset thresholds of high dose rate tolerant technologies at flash x-ray facilities and developed the techniques which allow circuits manufactured with high upset threshold piece parts to have upset thresholds near that of the parts. These techniques have been applied in the Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) In-Flight Survivability and Minuteman Upgrade Programs. He demonstrated the application of hardware-in-the-loop facilities to determine the impact of nuclear effects on system performance that is being applied to THAAD. He provided systems engineering and test support for the Advanced Hardened Avionics Technology (AHAT) computer, an advanced radiation hardened space and missile microcomputer capable of 3 GOPS throughput in 650 grams. Dr. Seidler pioneered the field of box Internal Electromagnetic Pulse (IEMP) effects, a phenomena which occurs inside electronic enclosures by electrons photo-emitted from surfaces and dielectrics

irradiated by x and gamma rays. He has determined the limits to reducing the current delivered to components on circuit boards and verified his analysis through experiment. His work has led to the development of several hardening techniques employed in current systems. Dr. Seidler has investigated air modified System Generated Electromagnetic Pulse (SGEMP) effects in several UGT's as well as laboratory facilities. Dr. Seidler was Technical Director of the Phase II SGEMP experiments on the FLTSATCOM QUAL Model, examining the effectiveness of low-level x-ray testing as a tool for hardness assurance. He has developed high-level current injection techniques for use on satellites, performed SREMP experiments, which demonstrated the effects of air on the space charge barrier breakdown, and completed the fielding of an SGEMP experiment on an actual satellite at the Nevada Test Site. A recognized leader in x-ray effects testing, he developed much of the technology is use today. To test systems in a simulated free space environment, he developed and validated electromagnetic dampers for the vacuum chambers, ferrite isolators for the hard-wire data links, and electron backscatter control for the chamber walls. These techniques have been applied to verify the hardness in advanced systems such as the UHF-Follow-On Satellite and MILSTAR. Dr. Seidler has developed much of the technology critical to evaluating the effectiveness of x-ray and gamma ray simulators at testing for nuclear effects in military electronics. He demonstrated the limitations of theoretical approaches to determining simulation fidelity and developed an empirical approach. He has demonstrated the validity of this approach by comparing responses in actual electronics with those from simple geometries. Dr. Seidler is widely recognized as a leading authority on simulation fidelity. Results of his research have guided the development of radiation simulators such as DECADE as well as the application of available machines. Dr. Seidler has investigated the vulnerability of electronics and energetic materials to the electromagnetic effect of neutral particle beam weapons. He hypothesized that electrons scattered by ion beams would be sufficient to cause arcs on system dielectric materials and confirmed these effects through experiments at Argonne National Laboratories. He has developed counter measures to neutral particle beam weapons, which quantified the system parameters, which could defeat the weapons with available technology. SPIRE CORPORATION 1976-1978 With Spire Corporation from 1976 to 1978, Dr. Seidler conducted research in nuclear weapons effects simulation, using electron-beam and bremsstrahlung photon machines; investigated electromagnetic damping of a system-generated electromagnetic pulse (SGEMP) simulation facility and the responses of cluttered cavities for validation of systems analysis codes; developed an improved data reduction system, and experimentally investigated SGEMP/IEMP cavity responses in the presence of dielectric surfaces; studied collective ion acceleration in dielectric guides. AIR FORCE WEAPONS LABORATORY 1972-1976 At the Air Force Weapons Laboratory from 1972 to 1976, Dr. Seidler performed research in SGEMP generation and propagation phenomena; was responsible for the development of 3-D techniques for prediction of satellite responses to SGEMP; initiated an EMP close-in-coupling program for the Minuteman follow-on missile system; developed an advanced nonlinear treatment of the electron plasma from a nuclear detonation; and developed and managed an experimental program, to study plasma treatments of a nuclear excited upper atmosphere. A satellite EMP criterion which he developed is utilized by the Air Force.

PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS AND HONORS Dr. Seidler is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and several honor fraternities including Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, Omicron Delta Kappa, and Sigma Chi. Dr. Seidler received best paper awards at the 1979 and 1982 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conferences (NSREC) and at the 1990 and 1999 Hardened Electronics and Radiation Technology (HEART) Conferences. Dr. Seidler served as Guest Editor of the 1982 and 1983 IEEE Transactions for Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects (NSRE), Technical Program Chairman of the 1985 HEART Conference, Chairman of Publications for both the HEART and NSRE Conferences from 1986-88, Awards Chairman for the 1989 IEEE NSREC, and the Chairman of the HEART Steering Committee from 1988-1992 and again from 2003-2006. He served as General Chairman of the 1996 HEART Conference. Dr. Seidler was Chair of the fourth Boeing Technical Excellence Conference (BTEC) in 2004 and has received best paper awards for his presentations at BTEC in 2006 and 2010. He was selected as an Ed Well Partnership lecturer in 2010. Dr. Seidler was awarded a Life Fellow Award from the IEEE for his lifetime contributions to technology and has been twiced selected as IEEE Huntsville Engineer of the Year for 2009 and 2012. Dr. Seidler was selected as the Sci-Quest 2011 Industrial Scientist of the Year in Huntsville who excels in the Quest for Excellence. Sci-Quest is the local Huntsville museum dedicated to hands-on science to inspire children to pursue careers in science and technology. Dr. Seidler was the first non-government HEART Steering Committee Chair appointed by representatives of the sponsoring government agencies in 1989 and served for three years. Bill had two issues when he started. First in 1989, HEART was not recognized by our major government laboratories as a conference whose publications carried the professionalism necessary for technical promotions as did the IEEE NSREC. Second, three prior conference chairs were on the hook with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for having added incomes amounting to the conference fees collected in those years. Bill started the HEART Society, a non-profit, whose mission was to run professional classified conferences and upgrade the Journal of Radiation Effects to be equivalent to the IEEE Transactions for Nuclear Science. Bill achieved both of these goals which changed the viewpoints of the managers at our government laboratories. HEART is now equivalent to IEEE in both professionalism and care of our conference management team. The HEART Society now handles accounting to the IRS for our resources. Bill was elected to a second term as the HEART Steering Committee Chair and as Chairman of the Enterprise for the HEART Society in 2003.

SCI-QUEST ANNOUNCES WINNERS OF THE 2011 QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE AWARDS

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The 2011 Quest for Excellence Awards will be presented on Friday, Oct. 21 at the Mad Scientist Ball – an annual fundraising event to benefit Sci-Quest, Hands-on Science Center. The awards focus on individuals who have made significant contributions in science, technology, engineering and mathematic (STEM) related careers.

This year, Sci-Quest focused its Quest for Excellence Awards on science research and education. The 2011 awards recognize members of the scientific community for outstanding science research and education and who use the principles of science in pursuit of exploring and increasing our understanding of the world and universe. Award winners were nominated and then selected by an independent panel of judges.

The 2011 Quest for Excellence Award winners are:

Academia Category: Dr. John R. Christy, UAHuntsville

Dr. John R. Christy is a professor of atmospheric science and the director of the Earth System Science Center at UAHuntsville, where he began studying global climate issues in 1987. The Earth System Science Center is one of the largest and most productive research centers at UAHuntsville. Since November 2000 he has been Alabama's state climatologist. He has served on five National Research Council panels or committees and has performed research funded by NASA, NOAA, DOE, DOT and the State of Alabama. In 2003 he served on the panel that drafted the American Geophysical Union's official statement on climate change.

Industry Category: Dr. William Seidler, The Boeing Corporation

Dr. William Seidler is a Senior Technical Fellow at the Boeing Corporation with over 38 years of experience in nuclear weapon effects and homeland security. He is currently tasked with bringing new research opportunities into Boeing through the Huntsville site. Recently, he convinced the Department of Defense to provide UAHuntsville with a three terawatt pulse power machine that had been used in nuclear effects testing. With this machine, UAHuntsville will become one of the largest academic pulse power laboratories in the world dedicated to research in advance fusion propulsion.

Government Category: Dr. Gerald Fishman, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center

 

Dr. Gerald Fishman is a Senior Scientist for Gamma Ray at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. His discovery that the most violent explosions in the Universe, observed with gamma rays, are not confined to a region in space has caused science textbooks to be rewritten. His subsequent discovery of terrestrial gamma-ray flashes associated with thunderstorms was unexpected and is now a new growing area of research. He shares the 2011 recipient of the Shaw Prize in Astronomy with Italian astronomer Dr. Enrico Costa, and is the 1994 American Astronomical Societies Rossi Prize recipient.

Educator Category: Jo Stafford, Huntsville City Schools

Jo Stafford taught 8th-grade science and was the Technology Leader at Hampton Cove Middle School. Students in Stafford’s class participated in the Alabama Computer Technology Engineer (ACTE) Competition where they explored and designed science based websites in small groups and competed against students from area schools. Stafford also served as the facilitator for Hampton Cove Middle’s annual school-wide Science Fair Competition. In 2006, Stafford was chosen to write the Alabama State Science Course of Study. Safford currently serves as the Assistant Principal at Whitesburg Middle School.

Director’s Choice: Roger Herdy, Qualis Corporation

Roger Herdy is the Senior Director of Technology Development at Qualis Corporation and has been a Program Manager on both commercial and government contracts over the past 20 years.
