Knighton’s innovative use of acquisition flexibilities resulted in the rapid delivery of the Army’s first integrated electronic warfare and signals intelligence dismounted program of record capability, the Terrestrial Layer System Manpack.
A member of the nearly 166,000 Warfighting Acquisition professionals (from all branches of the military), Knighton’s exceptional modernization effort reflects the Army’s focus on delivering advanced capabilities to ensure warfighter readiness and spectrum dominance.
