The Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Awards Conference recently honored Air Force Capt. Eduardo D. Aguilar at its “most promising military engineer” for 2005. He serves as chief of the Block IIF space integration team for the Global Positioning System, at the Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles AFB, Calif.
The Air Force wants to pump more than $12 billion over the next five years into its new affordable long-range missiles program and recently asked industry to push the flights of some of those munitions beyond 1,200 miles.
