Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRCY) (www.mrcy.com), today announced
that its Independent Chairman of the Board Vince Vitto was recently
awarded the 2016 Eugene G. Fubini Award for outstanding
contributions to the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Defense
Science Board. The award was signed by Secretary of Defense Ash
Carter and presented in a ceremony recently held at the Pentagon in
Washington, D.C.
“Vince brings extensive experience around intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance to our board and consistently
contributes important insights to the operations and governance of
Mercury Systems,” said Mark Aslett, President and CEO of Mercury
Systems. “We are proud to congratulate Vince on this well-deserved
recognition and appreciate his ongoing leadership and contributions
to the Defense Science Board.”
According to the DoD, the award recognizes “professional
excellence and superior performance in providing exemplary
scientific and technical contributions across the broad spectrum of
the DoD mission to meet the needs of the warfighting community,
improve the acquisition system and strengthen the commercial and
defense industrial base.”
Mr. Vitto has served for many years on the Defense Science
Board, an organization established in 1956 to promote the latest in
applied sciences and technology in support of the DoD. His
contributions include papers that are presented to key personnel
within the Pentagon up to and including the Secretary of
Defense.
The Eugene G. Fubini Award was established in 1996 by
then-Secretary of Defense William J. Perry to recognize on an
annual basis, an individual from the private sector who has made
highly significant contributions to the Department of Defense in an
advisory capacity over a sustained period of time. Gene Fubini was
the first recipient of the award.
