Vice President
Command and Control Center
National Security Engineering Center
DoD Federally Funded Research and Development Center

Mr. Peter Sherlock is vice president of The MITRE Corporation's Command and Control Center (C2C) within the National Security Engineering Center (NSEC), a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) sponsored by the Department of Defense (DoD). The C2C serves MITRE's DoD sponsors and focuses on creating a joint command, control, and communications system.

In his role, Mr. Sherlock is responsible for the definition and execution of the C2C strategy for all its customers (the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Defense Information Systems Agency, and Missile Defense Agency), with emphasis on acquisition programs, technical work program quality, and center business operations.

Mr. Sherlock was previously executive director for integration in the DoD FFRDC. He led a team of technical executives responsible for identifying and solving integration and interoperability issues facing MITRE's DoD and Intelligence Community sponsors, improving coordination and collaboration, and bringing the full capabilities of the company to bear on key joint programs. Mr. Sherlock was also responsible for the Enterprise Systems Engineering Capstone Program, which funds more than 25 projects annually to specifically target enterprise integration issues.

From 2003 to 2006, Mr. Sherlock led MITRE's programs with the U.S. Army as the executive director of the Army Systems and Technology Division. He was responsible for overall work program direction and development, advising Army leadership on critical command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance issues, and development of the Division's technical capabilities.

Mr. Sherlock joined MITRE in 1986 and spent a decade in a variety of management and technical roles focused on communications, C2, and intelligence and electronic warfare. Early in his MITRE career, he worked in the Air Force C3 Center and the Washington C3 Center at the company's Eatontown, N.J., site, supporting U.S. Army customers.

From 1997 to 2002, Mr. Sherlock left MITRE to work in the broadband industry. He served in several executive positions with General Instrument (GI), a leading supplier of interactive digital video, voice, and high-speed data systems for broadband cable operators (acquired in 2000 by Motorola). He served as vice president and general manager of the Cable Network Router business unit, with responsibility for profit/loss, as well as the engineering, marketing, manufacturing, and customer support organizations. While at GI, he implemented new product developments, strategic partnerships, and led the acquisition of a startup, RiverDelta Networks. Prior to rejoining MITRE in 2003, Mr. Sherlock co-founded an early stage startup developing a distributed Web content access system. He was with Sanders Associates from 1982 to 1985, where he worked on hardware design, software programming, and analysis for Navy surveillance systems.

He holds a bachelor's degree (1982) and a master's degree (1986) in electrical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and an MBA from Rutgers University (1995).
