Hung Nguyen
Chief Scientist, Raytheon
Describing Nguyen's work, Dr. Robert P. Wright, director of SAS Systems Verification Center at Raytheon, said, "Dr. Hung Nguyen is an industry expert in the design, development, integration and test of advanced airborne radar systems. In his 20+ year tenure, Dr. Nguyen’s impact is felt in virtually every advanced fire control system Raytheon has developed. His technical leadership is sought by the customer community in designing, integrating, and testing emerging airborne radar systems.
"As the chief scientist on the APG-79 Radar, the state-of-the-art agile beam system that is a first of its kind design, Dr. Nguyen’s system test expertise ensures every delivered product meets Raytheon’s commitment to provide the navy air fighter a superior advantage in detection and reliability. His philosophy on test is simple, yet compelling—test the system to verify what it’s suppose to do, but question also when it’s doing what it’s NOT suppose to do.

"His success as one of the top systems test/troubleshooting experts can be attributed to a thorough understanding of system design and the required science and technology.
