Mr. Andrew Knoedler

Tactical Technology Office (TTO)

Program Manager

Mr. Andrew Knoedler joined DARPA in July 2018 as a program manager in the Tactical Technology Office. His technical experience includes technology development and demonstration of complex aircraft and weapons systems, with a focus on demonstrating capabilities on shortened timelines.

Prior to DARPA, Mr. Knoedler spent 27 years serving with the U.S. Air Force, retiring as a colonel in 2018. He most recently served as the program office director for the U.S. Air Force Airspace Mission Planning Division at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts. There, he oversaw personnel building aircraft mission planning software systems for the Department of Defense, U.S. Government and 27 partner countries. He also drove the re-design of software to meet open architecture and open mission systems requirements, and broadly implemented agile software development concepts.

He started his active duty career at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, as a propulsion engineer on the Short Range Attack Missile II rocket motor team and a ramjet/scramjet ground test engineer with the National Aero-Space Plane. He then worked as a flight test engineer on a variety of smart weapons and avionics test programs. Following a brief tour on the Air Staff he took command of the 746th Test Squadron, Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. He served joint tours with U.S. Strategic Command working ballistic missile defense and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency running cooperative programs around the globe.

Mr. Knoedler holds Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in aeronautics and astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Master of Military Operational Art and Science from the U.S. Air Force Air Command and Staff College; and Master of Science in national resource strategy from the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. He also is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School’s Flight Test Engineer Program.

    Programs

    Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC)
    Systems that operate at hypersonic speeds—five times the speed of sound (Mach 5) and beyond—offer the potential for military operations from longer ranges with shorter response times and enhanced effectiveness compared to current military systems. Such systems could provide significant payoff for future U.S. offensive strike operations, particularly as adversaries’ capabilities advance.

    Selected DARPA Achievements

    DARPA collaborated with industry on stealth technology.
    DARPA’s Stealth Revolution
    In the early days of DARPA’s work on stealth technology, Have Blue, a prototype of what would become the F-117A, first flew successfully in 1977. The success of the F-117A program marked the beginning of the stealth revolution, which has had enormous benefits for national security.
    DARPA microelectronics gave rise to today's GPS devices.
    Navigation in the Palm of Your Hand
    Early GPS receivers were bulky, heavy devices. In 1983, DARPA set out to miniaturize them, leading to a much broader adoption of GPS capability.
    First rough conceptual design of the ARPANET.
    Paving the Way to the Modern Internet
    ARPA research played a central role in launching the Information Revolution. The agency developed and furthered much of the conceptual basis for the ARPANET—prototypical communications network launched nearly half a century ago—and invented the digital protocols that gave birth to the Internet.
