My father, Gordon C Caldwell, worked at RCA
Moorestown where Aegis was born. After the end of the Apollo program (RCA built
the telemetry antennas for the LEM and moonbase), he helped lead the
development of Aegis. First, he was PMO of CSEDS, working on the USS Norton
Sound in 1972 and 1973. Finally, before his retirement, he was manager of the
first PTC. I am proud to follow in his footsteps, having led the JABMD baseline
through four successful flight missions as lead system engineer and now working
as WCS technical lead for the latest generation of Aegis, Baseline 9E.
