Tom DuBois, PhD
Tom DuBois has over 40 years of experience in advanced technology applications for Aerospace and Defense industries and is currently the CTO of JHNA. At JHNA, he chairs the Technology Governance Board, leads the Fellowship Program, and guides the development of core competencies and key technologies. In addition to CTO responsibilities, Tom provides direct support to clients in his areas of expertise: Modular Open System Approaches (MOSA), Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Systems Architecture, DevSecOps Processes, and Avionics and Software Integration
Prior to JHNA, Tom was the Chief Systems Architect for Boeing vertical lift and Army systems programs. In his 31 years at Boeing, Tom performed advanced development work on the Chinook, V-22, Apache, Future Vertical Lift, Comanche, and several uncrewed systems programs. As both Technical Fellow and Chief Architect, Tom led IR&D and CR&D programs to reduce the risk of applying advanced technologies to Boeing’s portfolio of programs. Through these efforts, he became the primary focal for demonstrations and applications of advanced mission system algorithms and MOSA. Prior to Boeing, Tom worked for three years at the RCA Artificial Intelligence Lab (now part of Lockheed Martin), and following Boeing, Tom worked for two years at L3Harris as a Technical Fellow supporting efforts in MOSA and MBSE.
Tom has a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Villanova University), a Master’s of Science and Engineering in Computer Engineering (University of Pennsylvania), a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Computer Science and an MBA (St. Joseph’s University). He is credited with over 30 published papers, has five patents, participates on and chairs technical panels, and was the technical lead on a government-industry Net-Centric Operations project team that won the American Helicopter Society 2008 Howard Hughes Award. Tom taught graduate level courses in computer science and object-oriented analysis and design at both Penn State University and Villanova University.
