September 28, 2004 – VANCOUVER, BC – IDELIX® Software Inc. announced today that James H. Frey, former President of Northrop Grumman TASC has joined the visualization software company's Board of Advisors. Mr. Frey will advise IDELIX on its business development efforts in the homeland security, aerospace, intelligence and defense markets.
"There is great opportunity and applicability for PDT-enhanced user interfaces in the latest generation of defense-based applications," commented Mr. Frey. "I'm excited to play a role in bringing this leading edge technology to market."
Mr. Frey served as Senior Vice President, Group Executive for the Litton Information Systems Group until Northrop Grumman's purchase of Litton in April 2001. In this position, he led the $1.4B group of Litton businesses involved in information technology services. Mr. Frey joined Litton in 1988 as President of Litton Itek Optical Systems and held that position until 1996 when he was appointed Vice President of Strategic Development. Three years later he became the Information Systems Group Executive. He was appointed President of TASC in 1999, a company specializing in systems engineering and program management for large space, intelligence and information management systems. Prior to joining Litton, Mr. Frey was General Manager of GE's Spacecraft Division in Valley Forge, PA.
Since his retirement from Northrop Grumman TASC in March 2002, Mr. Frey has served on the Advisory Board for the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA), and on special panels supporting the management of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI). He also advises private sector clients including SSG Precision Optical, Metron International, ManTech International, and Northrop Grumman.
"Jim's knowledge of the aerospace, defense, and intelligence industries will be a tremendous asset in developing and executing IDELIX's go-to-market strategy in this sector," notes IDELIX President and CEO Bijan Sanii. "His background with large geospatial intelligence information management systems further strengthens Jim's endorsement of PDT to key decision makers."
Pliable Display Technology® (PDT®) is a user interface enhancement that pushes the boundary on current visualization software functionality. PDT provides better situational awareness by allowing decision makers to identify, visualize and interact with important detail identified within an image, without losing sight of the surrounding information.
Mr. Frey and IDELIX Software Inc. will be attending GEOINT 2004 in New Orleans being held October 13-14. GEOINT 2004 is the premier event for the geospatial intelligence community bringing government, industry, and military leaders together with leading suppliers and industry experts. Attendees are invited to drop by the IDELIX booth #108 for an interactive demonstration of PDT.
