Bistatic Radar

Nicholas J. Willis received a BS degree in mathematics from Stanford University in 1956 under an NROTC-Holloway scholarship. He spent five years in the U.S. Navy, two on destroyers and three the Talos guided missile program sixteen years in industry with Philco-Ford, SRI International and Systems Control, Inc.; five years at DARPA; and a final 17 years at Technology Service Corp. Mr Willis now consults and conducts short courses for government and industry. As an SES-3 at DARPA's Tactical Technology Office, Mr Willis was responsible for radar, EW and land warfare programs, including bistatic radars, LPI radars and in particular Pave Mover, the forerunner of JSTARS. When at TSC, he designed one of the F-22 radar modes. Mr Willis has won the DoD's JDR Best Paper Award twice.
