April 4, 2008: Congratulations to Hung Nguyen of Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems, who has been selected by Test & Measurement World magazine's readers as 2007 Test Engineer of the Year. The cover story of the magazine's April edition describes Hung's work on the APG-79 AESA radar. Hung is pictured inside chamber 1 of Raytheon's Antenna Test Facility (ATF), which The Howland Company designed over twenty years ago. It's very gratifying to see that the facility is still attracting such highly talented engineers and is being put to such good use after all these years.
