Mr. Neil Fox

Mr. Fox joined DARPA in 2008, as a Program Manager for the Strategic Technology Office. Mr. Fox's program thrusts involve highly efficient communications technologies, GPS, optimal control systems, and tagging, tracking and locating (TTL).

Prior to joining DARPA, Mr. Fox worked at the MITRE Corporation where he developed and demonstrated advanced TTL and communications technologies in support of multiple concepts of operation. For these efforts, Mr. Fox led the development of advanced signal processing technologies that radically increased channel efficiency, improved antenna beamforming, and lead to new advanced communications waveforms. Before working for the MITRE Corporation, Mr. Fox served as Director of Advanced Applications for ITT Industries, where he developed systems involving TTL, RFID, remote sensing and advanced signal processing.

Additional research contributions involve volumetrically efficient antennas, low power signal acquisition, novel RADAR processing and the optimization of free space optical communications technologies. Mr. Fox's efforts have resulted in two patents in the area of advanced signal processing, and low power signal detection in high interference environments.

Mr. Fox received a BS in Electrical Engineering, Magna Cum Laude, from Virginia Tech, and a MS in Electrical Engineering, also from Virginia Tech. During his undergraduate degree, Mr. Fox also served as a Cooperative Engineering student for the U.S. Army Engineer Topographic Laboratories, in Ft. Belvoir, Virginia.
