Jeff Elder, the current head of the lethality unit of Modern Technology Solutions Inc.‘s army and missile defense division, has received the Technology Award from the National Defense Industrial Association’s Tennessee Valley chapter.
The award recognizes Elder’s technical contributions to the fields of lethality analysis, modeling and simulation and the effectiveness of kinetic energy weapons systems, the company said Thursday.
Elder received the award during the 2018 NDIA-TVC Membership Dinner on April 24 in Huntsville, Ala. that featured Maj. Gen. Douglas Gabram, commanding general of the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command, as the event’s speaker.
