Esteban Jimenez of HII’s Mission Technologies division, was recently elected to the executive committee of the Information Warfare Research Project (IWRP) Consortium.
IWRP engages industry and academia to develop and mature technologies in the field of information warfare that enhance U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps mission effectiveness, focusing on underlying technologies that advance information warfare capabilities through a consortium that can support research, development and prototyping.
As an experienced cyber defense and intelligence leader, Jimenez will help lead the IWRP Consortium to engage industry and academia to develop and mature technologies in the field of information warfare that enhance U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps mission effectiveness.
Specific technology focus areas include artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), assured command and control (AC2), autonomy, cloud computing, cyber warfare, data science/analytics technologies and electromagnetic spectrum.
“I am honored to join the IWRP executive committee,” Jimenez said. “The consortium’s mission to accelerate the delivery of vital technologies to our armed forces deeply resonates with me, and I look forward to contributing to the IWRP’s impactful work in support of national defense.”
Prior to joining HII as a business development leader, Jimenez served as an intelligence officer and cyberspace operations planner for the U.S. Marine Corps. He held roles with U.S. Special Operations Command, U.S. Cyber Command’s Joint Task Force ARES and Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command.
