At the time of his death, Tatigian, the longest serving civil servant in the history of the DoD, was serving as Naval Sea Systems Command’s (NAVSEA) Small Business Advocate. “Mr. Tatigian truly lived a life dedicated to advocacy and the service of others,” said NAVSEA Executive Director James Smerchansky. “His decades of work oversaw the expansion of the small business industrial base and more than $100 bil- lion in contracts awarded to diverse, small businesses. As we bid fair winds and following seas to Mr. Tatigian, NAVSEA will greatly miss his presence, but we will never forget the positive impact he made on this command and the entire U.S. Navy.” Tatigian’s civilian career with the Navy began in July 1942 as a junior radio inspector at the naval aircraft factory in the Philadelphia Navy Yard and the Navy Office of Inspector of Naval Aircraft in Linden, New Jersey.

Goodman, Ph.D. ANALYSIS UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS Director of Economic and Public DARTMOUTH Policy Research Kathleen Modzelewski Clyde Barrow, Ph.D. Project Coordinator Director, Center for Policy Analysis Phil Primack Chancellor Professor of Policy Writer and Researcher Studies 2 Massachusetts Defense Technology Initiative (MassDTI) Working to Preserve and Expand the Missions of Hanscom AFB and Natick Soldier Systems Center MassDTI is a coordinated public-private partnership created by the Massachusetts High Technology Council, Inc. to successfully influence the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 2005 process. Its primary objective is to preserve and enhance the missions of the state’s two largest and most valuable defense technology centers, Hanscom Air Force Base (Bedford, MA) and the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick, MA). MassDTI has argued that having both Hanscom and Natick Labs as centerpieces of Massachusetts's premier defense technology cluster - home to world class academic, scientific, research and development centers - is vital to our nation's defense system as well as the region's economy. On September 8, MassDTI unveiled a comprehensive plan to expand the mission of Hanscom Air Force Base – designed to make the base more competitive in the eyes the Department of Defense through the BRAC 2005 and beyond. Led by co-chairs Senator Edward Kennedy and Governor Mitt Romney – and the state’s Congressional delegation – and supported by leaders in the technology and academic community, MassDTI is working to ensure that these bases’ unique characteristics and their contribution to military value are fully recognized and carefully assessed during the BRAC 2005 process.
