ARTC’s Founder, President and CEO
Mr. Donald P. Hilliard founded ARTC in November 2013. Having over 45 years experience in military intelligence, engineering,
and management, Mr. Hilliard’s career spans active duty Air Force; Department of Defense Federal Civil Service; and private
industry. His engineering background covers a variety of military technology programs including: radar cross section measurement;
stealth platforms, weapon systems, and Electronic Warfare (EW) system development, including the Naval Air Systems Command
(NAVAIR) Intrepid Tiger II tactical EW Pod; advanced antenna systems; electro-optics and infrared sensors; validation of threat
representative simulators and targets used for Operational Tests; and air combat intelligence operations.
Mr. Hilliard has held the following positions: Pacific Air Force (PACAF) Major Command, Air Combat Intelligence Operations and
Analysis, Southeast Asia Branch, Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii; 4 th Tactical Air Command Fighter Wing, Air Combat
Intelligence Operations and Analysis, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina; Deputy Director of Engineering Research,
General Research Corporation; Senior RCS test engineer, Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), Radar
Reflectivity Laboratory (RRL), Point Mugu, CA; Branch Head, NAWCWD RRL; Branch Head, Missile Engagement Simulation
Arena (MESA), China Lake, CA; Senior Scientist, Toyon Research Corporation; Senior Engineer, Jacobs Corporation; and Director
of Engineering Research, GRTC.
Mr. Hilliard has a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California Berkeley
and a Master of Science in Management and Global Leadership and Business Administration from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA, under the Sloan Fellows Program.
Mr. Hilliard is a Senior Member of the IEEE. He is a graduate of the NAVAIR Naval Aviation Executive Institute Senior Executive
Development Program and is a NAVAIR Certified Black Belt in LEAN Six Sigma continuous process improvement. He has written
over 20 technical symposia publications and over 100 technical reports. Mr. Hilliard has been awarded 11 US Patents and he is the
recipient of numerous military and civil service awards, including: the United States Air Force Commendation Medal (4th TAC
Fighter Wing); induction to the IEEE Eta Kappa Nu Electrical Engineering Honor Society (UC Berkeley); induction to the Tau Beta
Pi Engineering Honor Society (UC Berkeley); and the 2000 NAWCWD Michelson Laboratory Award for Leadership.
