Robert Wilson: President of Business & General Aviation for Honeywell Robert Wilson: President of Business & General Aviation for Honeywell Aerospace Rob Wilson was appointed President of Business & General Aviation for Honeywell Aerospace in August 2005. In this role, Rob leads the Business & General Aviation business unit, which serves customers who make, operate, and maintain business jets and general aviation aircraft. Wilson served as chairman of the board for the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) Executive Committee during 2010. GAMA represents more than 80 of the world’s leading manufacturers of fixed-wing general aviation airplanes, engines, avionics, and components. Wilson started his career designing and developing industrial gas turbines at Solar Turbines, a division of Caterpillar Corp. in San Diego. After seven years, Mr. Wilson started his managerial development, building and leading a technical team dedicated to addressing technical challenges in the turbine power plant of the M1A1 Tank for Textron Lycoming. After leading Advanced Technology and Design for Textron Lycoming, the corporation was acquired by Allied Signal (now Honeywell) and he was then appointed to a similar business in the combined company. After several engineering director roles, Mr. Wilson moved into an operations role, leading engine assembly and test operations. Rob's first business leadership role was vice president for the hydromechanical product line, which included selling, designing, manufacturing, and supporting jet engine fuel controls. Prior to his current role, Mr. Wilson was vice president and general manager of the military aircraft business, with total business accountability for the design, manufacture, sales, and support of all Honeywell equipment installed on military aircraft. Mr. Wilson also served as vice president of the HTF7000 product line, where he led the team that certified Honeywell’s first new jet engine in over 30 years. He joined the company in 1987 and is a graduate of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where he received his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. .

  • Creativity – Success – Obscurity
    Author Gerry Pickering CREATIVITY – SUCCESS – OBSCURITY UNIVAC, WHAT HAPPENED? A fellow retiree posed the question of what happened. How did the company that invented the computer snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? The question piqued my interest, thus I tried to draw on my 32 years of experiences in the company and the myriad of information available on the Internet to answer the question for myself and hopefully others that may still be interested 60+ years after the invention and delivery of the first computers. Computers plural, as there were more than one computer and more than one organization from which UNIVAC descended. J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, located in Philadelphia PA are credited with inventing the first general purpose computer under a contract with the U.S. Army. But our heritage also traces back to a second group of people in St. Paul MN who developed several computers about the same time under contract with the U.S. Navy. This is the story of how these two companies started separately, merged to become one company, how that merged company named UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computers) grew to become a main rival of IBM (International Business Machines), then how UNIVAC was swallowed by another company to end up in near obscurity compared to IBM and a changing industry. Admittedly it is a biased story, as I observed the industry from my perspective as an employee of UNIVAC. It is also biased in that I personally observed only a fraction of the events as they unfolded within UNIVAC. This story concludes with a detailed account of my work assignments within UNIVAC.

  • National Nuclear Security Administration Honeywell FM&T
    National Nuclear Security Administration Honeywell FM&T Fiscal Year 2015 Performance Evaluation Report (PER) NNSA Kansas City Field Office Performance Period: October 2014 – September 2015 November 19, 2015 Kansas City Field Office November 19, 2015 Executive Summary This Performance Evaluation Report (PER) provides the assessment of Honeywell Federal Manufacturing and Technologies, LLC performance for the period of October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015, as evaluated against the objectives defined in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Strategic Performance Evaluation Plan (PEP). The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) took into consideration and consolidated all input provided (e.g. CAS, Program Reviews, etc.) from NNSA Program and Functional Offices both at Headquarters and in the field. The Performance Objectives (POs) in the PEP were graded using adjectival ratings as described in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The POs were then considered in the aggregate to provide an overall adjectival rating and percentage of fee earned for the contract. Comments on the performance of each Contributing Factor (CF) and Site Specific Outcome (SSO) under each PO identified in the PEP are provided as well. Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies (FM&T) submitted a Performance Self-Assessment Report that covered the rating period. FM&T is to be commended for the thoroughness of their report which embraced the expectation of being self-critical as well as highlighting accomplishments. NNSA reviewed the self-assessment report and considered it in conducting our evaluation. In most cases NNSA agreed with the overall assessment of Excellent. Performance against the POs summarized below, resulted in an overall rating of Excellent for FM&T in FY 2015 .
