Dr. Myron Kayton has 50
years of experience designing and testing avionic, navigation, communication
and computer-automation systems. He is a
Consulting Engineer for his own company.
From 1968 to 1981, he was a member of the senior staff at TRW where he
served as Chief Engineer for Spacelab avionics and head of System Engineering
for Space Shuttle avionics among scores of assignments. From 1965 to 1969, he served as Deputy
Manager for Lunar Module Guidance and Control at NASA's Johnson Space
Center. From 1960 to 1965, he was
Section Head at Litton's Guidance and Control Division where he designed and
analyzed some of the earliest multi-sensor navigation systems, for example the
SRAM cruise missile. Dr. Kayton is a
Life Fellow of the IEEE, served on its Board of Directors and as President of
the Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society, and received numerous awards and
honors. He is an AESS Distinguished
