Danielle Grant Dr. John Slaughter Legacy Award
JOB: Project Manager/Engineer, Leidos, Inc.
ACHIEVEMENTS: Danielle Grant’s dedication has resulted in higher effectiveness, which directly and positively impacts U.S. combat troops. A key contributor to Leidos Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Military Entrance Processing/Dissemination/Processing Exploitation Dissemination (ISR MEP/PED) Systems, she has made many contributions since joining the company in 2014. Her contribution to the Audio Multi-Level Security (A-MLS) system not only significantly benefited the customer and U.S. combat troops but also provided value to Leidos and the C2ISR division. The A-MLS system allows Remotely Piloted Aircraft operators to interact with multiple audio systems at different classification levels through a single headset. This system marks a substantial achievement in the field as it is the first system to integrate all audio networks into a single headset, improving human factors, crew capabilities, and system security. The system is installed in USAF MQ-1 and MQ-9 combat-enabled Ground Control Stations. This includes all USAF MQ-1/9 GCSs operated by Air Combat Command, Air Force Special Operations Command, and the Air National Guard. Perhaps most unique to A-MLS is the integration design and approach.
