Dr. Thomas Murdock
Vice President, Sensor and Data Products and Solutions
Dr. Thomas L. Murdock, the VP and Director of FTI’s Sensor Operations, has, over the last thirty years, been a leader in 1) the development of IR sensors, science and technology; 2) the processes utilized in E-O sensor data collection, performance evaluation and calibration; 3) reduction, analysis and modeling of geophysical data; and 4) the application of this knowledge to space systems design and operation. He was a Co-Investigator on the NASA Cosmic Background Explorer (Two PIs won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2006 for the results of this program), and was responsible for the certification of the scientific accuracy and precision of the BMDO Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) database.
He is leading efforts to define the requirements for the calibration sources and to implement the ground and on-orbit calibration and performance verification techniques and analysis needed for future civilian and DoD systems. He has hands-on experience in design, fabrication, testing, calibration, data analysis and signal exploitation from space-based and ground-based optical (UV-VIS-IR) multi-spectral and hyperspectral sensing systems.
