BAE Systems' U.S. subsidiary has promoted one of its own veterans to become chief technology officer of the systems integration and government services business.
BAE Systems’ U.S. subsidiary has promoted nearly 13-year company veteran Dr. Ravi Ravichandran to chief technology officer for its intelligence and security segment -- the systems integration and government services business.
Ravichandran will drive the development, integration and transition next-generation offerings for both current programs and future technology pursuits of BAE Systems Inc.
“As we advance our systems integration capabilities, he will focus on expanding our cutting-edge technologies in applied intelligence/machine learning, cloud computing, data analytics, enterprise IT modernization, and system sustainment,” Al Whitmore, president of the intelligence and security sector, said in a release Monday.
Most recently, Ravichandran was a director at BAE’s FAST Labs research-and-development organization. The 25-year technology veteran has focused much of his career at BAE on innovation, prototype development and product transition to support franchise programs.
